Interactive and smart workflow to measure noise free formation pressure and characterize supercharge in formation testing

Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods to obtain representative formation pore pressure and formation mobility from pressure measurements with a formation testing tool. In some embodiments, the method includes performing a first pre-test in which a pressure sensor measures a drawdown pressure and a buildup pressure, calculating a statistical value for the measured buildup pressure, determining if the statistical value is above or below a threshold, shutting down a mud pulser if the statistical value is above or below the threshold, and performing a second pre-test in which the pressure sensor measures a second drawdown pressure and a second buildup pressure. In embodiments, the second pre-test includes a formation fluid drawdown flow rate that is different than a formation fluid drawdown flow rate in the first pre-test.
