Production period

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002957

The duration during which a well is actively flowing hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the surface. This period precedes a shut-in for a pressure buildup test or follows a shut-in for a drawdown test. The length and stability of the production period influence the quality and interpretability of well test data.
