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.
Agree the applicable design code, destination requirements, inspection scope and documentation before ordering. Any third-party or hazardous-area certification must be verified for the specific model, configuration and scope; it is not assumed for every unit.
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.
