Abstract
A method and system used for testing a subterranean well. A sensor (34), such as a distributed temperature sensor, comprising a sensing optical fiber (48) connected to an interrogation unit (50), is deployed together with a drill stem test string (20) so that the sensor extends below the packer of the drill stem test string and across at least one formation (22) of the wellbore.
