6. The most common test sequence consists of a short flow period, perhaps five
or ten minutes, followed by a buildup period of about an hour that is used to
determine initial reservoir pressure.This is followed by a flow period of 4 to
24 hours to establish stable flow to the surface, if possible, and followed by
the final shut-in or buildup test that is used to determine permeability
thickness and flow potential. What is type of the test?
Answer : Drillstem Test

BONUS QUESTION
