| Abstract | The paper considers the method for measuring discharhe parameters of steam water wells. It is pointed out that the methods of the tests are different depending on the stage of the well development. Three different stages have been identified resulting from different tasks of the well tests: short-term test, long-term test and production well test. Based on the results of complex studies including expriments in laboratory the authors propose methods appropriate for each stage: the orifice method for short-term test, the James method for long-term test and orifice method for production well test. |
