Test Well Truck
A test well truck supports mobile well testing, temporary measurement and early production evaluation. The process layout, separator and metering scope, pressure and temperature range, sampling needs, control system and hazardous-area requirements depend on the operator’s test program.
Accurate, timely reservoir evaluation is the foundation of every effective field development decision — and the quality of that evaluation depends entirely on the capability and reliability of the surface well testing equipment deployed at the wellsite. The VANCE Test Well Truck is a purpose-built, fully integrated mobile well testing and data acquisition unit designed to deliver precise downhole pressure, temperature, and flow rate measurements across the full range of exploration, appraisal, and production well testing programs. As a proven oilfield test well truck solution, each unit combines a comprehensive suite of downhole instrument deployment and retrieval equipment, a high-accuracy surface data acquisition and control system, and a road-mobile chassis platform engineered for rapid wellsite mobilization. Whether your program demands extended production testing, pressure buildup analysis, or wireline-conveyed instrument logging, the VANCE well testing truck provides the integrated tools, real-time data processing capability, and field reliability that reservoir engineers depend on to generate actionable formation evaluation data. For operators seeking a dependable well logging truck and well testing solution with full export certification, VANCE delivers.
Key Features
- Integrated downhole instrument deployment and retrieval system with precision depth measurement encoder and hydraulic-controlled wireline winch provides accurate, repeatable tool positioning across a wide range of well depths and deviation profiles.
- High-accuracy surface data acquisition system continuously records and displays real-time downhole pressure, temperature, flow rate, and cumulative production volume data with full digital logging and export capability for reservoir engineering analysis.
- Comprehensive surface well testing equipment package including wellhead adapter manifold, pressure gauges, data recorders, and safety isolation valves for safe and efficient rig-up to a wide range of wellhead configurations.
- Hydraulic-powered wireline winch with adjustable line tension control, automatic depth counter, and overload protection system ensures controlled, safe tool runs in both vertical and deviated well profiles.
- Fully enclosed, climate-controlled operator cabin with integrated workstation provides a comfortable, weather-protected environment for data acquisition personnel during extended well testing programs in extreme hot or cold ambient conditions.
- Independent diesel-driven generator with automatic voltage regulation delivers stable, clean electrical power to all onboard testing instruments, data acquisition systems, and cabin climate control equipment independent of chassis engine operation.
- Robust road-mobile chassis with 4×2 or 6×4 drive configuration and compact platform dimensions enables rapid mobilization to remote wellsites on public roads and unimproved oilfield access tracks with minimum logistical complexity.
- Full compatibility with standard wireline-conveyed downhole pressure gauges, memory production logging tools, mechanical and electronic temperature sensors, and fluid sampling equipment across multiple tool string diameters and connection standards.
- Integrated data communication interface with support for RS-232, RS-485, and Ethernet protocols enables real-time data transmission from the wellsite to remote engineering teams for simultaneous analysis and real-time program optimization during live well tests.
- Cold-weather arctic operation package available, including full cabin and equipment insulation, heated cable drum, low-temperature hydraulic fluid system, and engine pre-heating for continuous reliable operation in ambient temperatures down to −40°C.
