  1. Downhole Well testing tools ISO Standard Discussion David McCalvin, Consultant Prepared Remarks Open discussion is welcomed

  2. David McCalvin, ConsultantBackground • Experienced in well completion tools • 14+ yrs at Camco / Schlumberger • 2 yrs Baker Oil Tools • 16+ Yrs ExxonMobil • API/ISO standards participation in interpretation, authoring and processing throughout • Current standards participation • Member of ISO TC 67/SC4 WG4 steering committee 14 active stds / 7 under development/revision • Lead of ISO/API Barrier valve standard • ISO liaison to 15551 (ESP systems), 15136-1-2-3 (PCP products) • Active participant to ISO 10432 (safety valves), WG4 Authoring guidelines

  3. ISO Standard Discussion • Why start with an ISO standard structure • Recognized worldwide as the technical source • Referenced by many national standards regulators • Instant creditability when approvals are complete • Structure of the standard is pre-determined and much of the required text is available (directives and guidelines) • Global input and approvals facilitate wide use • Periodic reviews/refinements are required • Final approvals are one country one vote • Often adopted/followed by API, Norsok, international operators etc

  4. Downhole Well Testing Tools ISO standard motivations • Governments are seeking standards for pressure retaining tools • Active team of industry experts can bring the most practical, safest, set of requirements within the ISO structure, rather than multiple new national versions • Multiple standards raise costs and technical challenges of familiarity and personnel training • Unified terminology and evaluation methods add to effectiveness of applications and design validations • Contributions from Operators and Suppliers

  5. ISO TC67 has published 144 standards. API has adopted 72 of these as joint API / ISO standards. CEN has adopted 122 of these as joint European EN ISO standards. China, Gulf Region, Russia, Kazakhstan etc. have also adopted many of these ISO standards.

  6. Downhole Well Testing Tools ISO standard development process • New Work Item Prep (current status) • Requires 5 countries participation, a leader and an outline of contents; 6 mo.+ • New Work Item (approval required at SC level) • Task group leader officially has the task of authoring the standard; 1yr+ • Committee Draft (task group’s work output) • Provided to WG for review prior to sending for formal comments; 8 mo. + • Draft International Std (comments/vote) • Revised with comment responses etc; 6 mo.+ • Final Draft Int. Std (revised per comments) • One country one vote, minor comments action not required et al; 6 mo.+ • International Std (after ISO, editing/legal etc)

  7. Downhole Well Testing Tools ISO task group • General Operating Guidelines • Attendees/contributors are required to be peer accepted, global industry experts that are dedicated consistent to see the standard to completion • A balance of suppliers and operators, one key contributor each (supporting members welcome where required) • Hold meetings at members facilities every two months for a minimum of two full days • All decisions are by consensus of the attendees, the absence of sustained opposition is “consensus” • Seek to cover 85/90% of the products defined, while allowing technology evolutions • A keeper of the document and minute recorder will be appointed for accurate record keeping

  8. Downhole Well Testing Tools ISO standard; preliminary “Scope” • This International Standard provides the requirements for downhole well test tools as they are defined herein for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries. Included are the requirements for design, design validation, manufacturing, functional evaluation, repair, redress, handling and storage. Tools utilized in Downhole Well Test operations include: tester valves, circulating valves, packers, safety joint, jars, samplers, gauge carriers and gauges, ancillary tools. • A downhole well test is a temporary completion of a well to safely acquire dynamic rate through time, formation pressure and formation fluid data.This document covers the down hole tools used to perform the drawdown or injection and buildup or falloff of the formation and measurement of the pressures. • This International Standard does not cover the operational job procedures or planning requirements of the surface equipment, the subsea safety equipment, perforating equipment and processes, pup joints and couplings, tubulars or work string, conveyance or intervention systems, installation, control systems such as computer systems. Also not included are products covered under ISO 10432 and ISO 10423.
