Abstract
A system for pressure testing a formation includes a downhole tool configured to measure formation pressure, storage containing pressure parameters of a plurality of simulated formation pressure tests, and a formation pressure test controller coupled to the downhole tool and the storage. For each of a plurality of sequential pressure testing stages of a formation pressure test, the formation pressure test controller 1) retrieves formation pressure measurements from the downhole tool; 2) identifies one of the plurality of simulated formation pressure tests comprising pressure parameters closest to corresponding formation pressure values derived from the formation pressure measurements; and 3) determines a flow rate to apply by the downhole tool in a next stage of the test based on the identified one of the plurality of simulated formation pressure tests.
