Q. How long does the flow test take?

A. Flowing of the well under test typically lasts only a few days to a week. However, it may last longer if extended testing is approved by the regulatory authorities for complex discoveries.
Remember the flow testing process is tightly regulated to make sure there is no pollution and control systems are in place whilst the flow test is being undertaken. There is very little in the way of vehicle visits to and from the site whilst flow testing is underway, although produced oil may be removed by infrequent road tankers
