A01 Introduction
This guided session is an introduction to the functionalities of the Formation Test (FT) analysis
option in Saphir 4.20.
Warning: This Saphir feature is temporary, restricted to v4.20. We will remove it from later
Saphir versions, when an Ecrin module dedicated to formation testers is released. The
temporary Saphir addendum is aimed at unlocking our users who wish to have simultaneous
match of source and observation pressures. The future FT module will handle all FT surveys for
a given well in a single document. It will integrate a tool database, tool specific features, a
dedicated numerical model, gradients, contacts, etc. We cannot achieve a proper FT module in
v4.20, hence the temporary Saphir feature. Naturally, FT files created by Saphir v4.20 will be
read by following versions of Saphir and by the FT module.
In this exercise, the testing tool presents the following geometry:
Finally, click on Load to import all gauges in Saphir. Once the load is completed, you may visit
the QAQC page to visualize all loaded gauges one volume gauge and 4 pressure gauges:

B01.3 Computing the Rates
Before to proceed further, we need to compute a rate gauge from the measured pumped-out
volumes. This is achieved in the Compute Q option (
This dialog offers a variety of options for the derivation of the rates from the volumes
measurements (select Help in this dialog for details on the various options). In our case, the
rate history is correctly calculated with the default settings you may keep them and click on
OK to finalize the rate history construction:
Validate all default choices and proceed with data extraction. The 4 gauges are plotted in the
Loglog and Semilog plots, as well as in the History plot:
Click on Generate, and wait until all models at all gauges have been simulated:
B02.3 Improve
In order to obtain a better match, click on Improve (
) and in the following dialog make
sure that Zw is not included in the improved parameters list:
As a last confirmation, include back BQP2 in the extraction (Extract dP dialog) and accept to
re-generate the model to confirm that at least the BQP2 match is not inconsistent with the
result obtained so far:
