No-risk, low-cost, non-intervention well testing. Other companies claim to offer surface pressure measurements for well testing, but only Data Retrieval Corporation can provide a sophisticated conversion of surface data to reservoir conditions, free well test planning, and offer well test analysis with a proven track record.

Smarter Well Testing Solutions

DRC and the SPIDR Surface Well Testing System began as an idea from our founder and President, Nathan Waldman. He ran a successful oilfield service company in the early 80's that primarily operated downhole pressure gauges on electric-line for real-time surface readout. His company focused on wells that were deep, hot, geo-pressured, and sour.  The equipment required to test these types of well was ten times the cost of equipment used for normally pressured non-sour wells. This difficult combination of factors led to problems such as lost equipment in the wellbore resulting in expensive fishing operations and exceptionally high costs for both the operator and the service company.  That was where the SPIDR was born!

Typical results obtained from the SPIDR closely approximate those from using downhole pressure gauges, without the many risks and costs of downhole testing. You can test almost any gas well for a fraction of the cost of a conventional downhole test. The advantages of transient well testing are significant; Improved accuracy, well protection, personnel safety, No downhole limitations, speed, and much more...

 

DRC offers two primary services, the SPIDR hardware and DRC's ability to accurately model wellhead pressure to bottomhole conditions (BHP).  The SPIDR hardware is used to capture high quality wellhead pressure data for well testing from surface.  We then model this SPIDR data to BHP to perform pressure transient analysis.  DRC can also use data captured by SCADA systems or other gauges if the data is of a high enough quality...

 

Low permeability gas plays have come to dominate the landscape in the domestic USA marketplace in recent years.  Conventional tight gas sands and increasingly,  shale gas exploited via horizontal drilling and multistage stimulation are the norm in today’s environment. Testing Applications for pressure transient testing are varied and principally include the following: Conventional Pressure Build-up, DFIT or Pre-frac...

 
Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the drainage problems arising during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs.  The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology, applied mathematics, and the basic laws of physics and chemistry.  These laws govern the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil, natural gas, and water in reservoir rock...
