FlowTest

FlowTest is a well testing software tool for production testing companies. FlowTest calculates gas and liquid rates and can accommodate your testing needs from wellhead data gathering to final report.

Key Features:

Industry standard gas/liquid meters.
- AGA3 (1992) API 2530-92 orifice meter.
- AGA7 Turbine/Vortex.
- V-Cone.
- Pitot tube.
- Critical flow prover/chokes.
- Liquid tank.
- PVT conversion of mass, volume and flow rates to standard conditions.
Material balance rate/cum reporting, across all produced/injected/recovered: gas, liquid and solids.
Real-Time and manual data acquisition.
Alarms: erosional velocity, hydrate, liquid lift, flare permit and general operating conditions.
On-the-fly gas/liquid recovery switching (to: flare, tank, inline …).
User defined calculated columns.
Configurable user interface allows customization for different test types.
- Unlimited number of tables, plots and strip charts.
- Group table data by test sequence.
- Fully configurable live test summaries.
- Configurable CSV exporter automatically transforms test data to client specific requirements.
Integrated PDF report generator (create reports with content beyond what a PDF printer driver can do).
- Test details, meter and equipment report.
- Any combination of tables, plots and strip charts.
- Company Logos, images, watermarks and test comment annotations.
- Embed FlowTest data file, CSV or PAS files directly in the PDF report.
- Automatically generate a table of contents.
- Filter data at the reporting level.
AER/BCOGC PAS file generator.

Example data table

The data table is the primary interface to enter and view test data and calculated results. FlowTest supports multiple data tables to partition data as you see fit.

Data readings can be either entered manually or acquired in real time. On the fly unit conversion allows for multiple unit display configurable by column or easily toggled via an imperial/metric button.

Test comments utilize ‘smart-tag’ markup for live data allowing for fully customizable inline data summaries.
In FlowTest we consider comments as essential data elements that govern the test and must be viewed in situ with the readings. As a result comments are always visible and span the full table width, both on screen and in print.

Example plot

Plot features:

Live annotations tied to the test data.
Combine multiple series to common Y-axis.
Smart X –axis date/time formatting.
Pan/zoom, auto-scaling, real-time trending.

Example swab report using a strip chart

The strip chart is basically a rotated plot where the time axis is represented by an activity log.

The image above illustrates a typical swab report. At a glance you can see all your oil-water shows, cumulative fluid returns and annotated tag-pull depths.
To display this swab report, using only a plot, will typically show the tag/pull events as annotations directly over the plot data. The 50+ annotations ultimately end up obscuring the entire plot.

The strip chart provides superior clarity, over a plot, for cases where you have a large number of text comments that are important to the overall picture.
