Abstract
For optimizing well production, intervals are selected along a deviated wellbore, and a well test and treatment string is deployed in the wellbore. Each interval is then isolated to enable performance of desired testing. The test data obtained is evaluated to determine an appropriate remedial action which is then implemented via the well test and treatment string. The system and method enable the testing and treatment of a plurality of intervals along a horizontal well during the same run downhole.
