Formation Testing SIG (FTSIG) was established in December 2010 to advance formation pressure and sampling knowledge.
The purpose of this SIG is to provide a forum for those interested in Formation Testing to conduct technical discussions concerning tool design, data acquisition and delivery, applications, interpretation, and to develop/promote industry standards. The SIG plans to host one meeting per year on various topics pertaining to formation testing.
Some general SIG activities anticipated:
- SIG related meetings, workshops, short courses, and sessions at general/annual meetings
- Maintain contacts with other professional societies that are also concerned with formation testing
- Web-based information exchange, perhaps including posting of papers, experts list, question area
- Provide leadership for technical standardization activities or QA/QC related with pressure measurements or fluid sample acquisition
