Abstract
Methods and systems for performing a formation pressure test include inserting a bottom hole assembly ('BHA') into a wellbore. The BHA includes a drill bit and a formation testing tool with a battery and a fluid powered generator. An initial formation pressure test is performed while powering the formation testing tool with the fluid powered generator during the entire initial test. At least a portion of a formation pressure test is performed powering the formation testing tool with the battery during while the fluid powered generator is unavailable due to insufficient fluid circulation in the wellbore. The method also includes determining, using a processor, at least one characteristic of the formation based on results of the initial formation pressure test and the formation pressure test.
