1. n. [Production Testing]
A procedure conducted to establish the rate and pressure at which fluids can be pumped into the treatment target without fracturing the formation. Most stimulation treatments and remedial repairs, such as squeeze cementing, are performed following an injection test to help determine the key treatment parameters and operating limits. Likewise, injection tests are also conducted when pumping secondary recovery fluids such as water, nitrogen [N2], carbon dioxide [CO2], natural gas and steam.
