leak off test |
A leakoff test (LOT) is usually conducted immediately after drilling below a new casing shoe. The test indicates the strength of the wellbore at the casing seat, typically considered one of the weakest points in any interval. The data gathered during the LOT is used to prevent lost circulations while drilling. During the test, the well is shut in and fluid is pumped into the wellbore gradually to increase the pressure on the formation. |

|
formation integrity test |
To avoid breaking down the formation, many operators perform a formation integrity test (FIT) at the casing seat to determine if the wellbore will tolerate the maximum mud weight anticipated while drilling the interval. If the casing seat holds pressure that is equivalent to the prescribed mud density, the test is considered successful and drilling resumes. |
