Abstract
An example method comprises collecting formation temperature data along a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation, determining test operating parameter values, performing a wellbore hydraulic simulation of the response of wellbore fluid conditions to the test operating parameter values and the formation temperature data, determining whether the response of wellbore fluid conditions is indicative of one of a well control and a well stability problem, and initiating a test based on the determination whether the response of wellbore fluid conditions is indicative of one of a well control and a well stability problem.
