Selective zonal testing using a coiled tubing deployed submersible pump

Abstract

An apparatus for measuring a property of a formation comprising a coiled tubing unit having one or more downhole sensors capable of being lowered into a wellbore, a submersible pump capable of being lowered into a wellbore by the coiled tubing unit, means to power the submersible pump, and a packer lowered into the wellbore by the coiled tubing unit to isolate a formation. A method of servicing a hydrocarbon well using one or more sensors, one or more packers, and a submersible pump, all lowered on coiled tubing into a well that penetrates a predetermined formation; and using surface well testing equipment, determining a property of a formation while flowing the well assisted by the submersible pump and using flow data measured using the surface well testing equipment integrated with pressure data measured using the one or more sensors lowered into the well penetrating the formation on the coiled tubing; treating the formation by pumping fluid into the formation using the coiled tubing; and repeating the determining a property of the formation while flowing the well as described above, wherein the coiled tubing remains deployed within the well throughout the determining, treating, and repeating the determining processes.
