11 - Data Obtained During WT

Data obtained during a well test includes day-to-day results like gas composition, water cut, pressures, temperatures, and flow rates. It also provides long-term results like permeability, skin factor, initial reservoir pressure, and drainage area after interpretation. This data helps petroleum engineers evaluate the well and reservoir characteristics and performance.
