Abstract
Since the turn of the century, Shell has had a vision that Optimal Value Testing (OVT) will replace conventional drill stem<br>tests for in-situ measurement of dynamic reservoir properties such as permeability and drainage volume. The term OVT<br>refers to as any testing method that yields fit-for-purpose results at the lowest cost and HSE impact.
