My question to chat GPT……
What would a five day oil well testing program look like in terms of activities and program. The well would be expected to produce approximately 10,000 barrels of oil per day

A typical five-day oil well testing program for a well expected to produce around 10,000 barrels of oil per day would involve several key activities and phases:

### Day 1: Preparation and Equipment Setup
1. **Preparation**: Review well data and engineering reports to understand well characteristics and expected performance.
2. **Equipment Setup**: Mobilize testing equipment and personnel to the well site.
3. **Safety Briefing**: Conduct safety meetings to ensure all personnel are aware of safety protocols and hazards.

### Day 2: Initial Flow Testing
1. **Initial Flowback**: Begin initial flowback operations to bring reservoir fluids to the surface.
2. **Data Collection**: Monitor flow rates, pressures, and fluid properties (oil, gas, water) continuously.
3. **Stabilization**: Allow flow rates to stabilize to understand sustainable production rates.

### Day 3: Extended Flow Testing
1. **Extended Flowback**: Continue to produce fluids to gather more data on reservoir behavior.
2. **Pressure Buildup Tests**: Conduct pressure buildup tests intermittently to assess reservoir pressure and connectivity.

### Day 4: Downhole and Surface Sampling
1. **Downhole Sampling**: Deploy downhole tools to take fluid samples at different depths.
2. **Surface Sampling**: Collect surface samples for laboratory analysis (oil quality, gas composition, etc.).
3. **Data Analysis**: Begin analyzing collected data to evaluate reservoir characteristics and production potential.

### Day 5: Final Tests and Wrap-Up
1. **Final Flow Tests**: Conduct final flow tests to verify production rates and reservoir response.
2. **Documentation**: Compile test results, data logs, and operational reports.
3. **Demobilization**: Start demobilizing equipment and personnel from the site.

### Post-Testing Activities:
1. **Data Interpretation**: Analyze all gathered data to finalize well performance assessment.
2. **Reporting**: Prepare a comprehensive report summarizing test results, interpretations, and recommendations for further actions (e.g., production optimization, stimulation, or well completion).

### Key Considerations:
- **Safety**: Ensure all operations comply with safety regulations and industry standards.
- **Environmental Concerns**: Address environmental concerns through proper waste management and mitigation practices.
- **Reservoir Monitoring**: Use pressure and flow data to model reservoir behavior and estimate long-term production potential.

Each phase of the testing program is critical for accurately assessing the well's production capabilities and optimizing future operations. Adjustments to the schedule and activities may occur based on real-time data and unexpected challenges encountered during testing.


On this basis I’d say we are on day 3 and commencing day 4 in this schedule and therefore I’d expect results to extended flow tests tomorrow pre-open
