During the process of formation testing in long openhole section, in order
to ensure that the testing string was suspended at a specific position in the openhole section to realize layered testing, and solve the
problems of complex openhole testing technology and low success rate, an anchor for layer selection in openhole section was developed. Through
the operation of wellhead string, the anchor can be tightening to the wellbore wall, and then the test string can be suspended at a specific
position in the openhole section. In addition, the testing tools matching with anchor selection were also designed and optimized, and the single
packer test string and straddle testing string of layer selection anchor for openhole section were designed. This technology has been applied in
the openhole sections of 187000~214200 m and 176000~179200 m in well JG22X respectively. The tubing string has entered the well
smoothly. The total effective time of testing was 143 min and 86 min respectively. Pressure and related formation parameters can be obtained. The
application results showed that the openhole layer selection anchor was simple and convenient to operate on site, and its working performance
was stable and reliable. The new test technology improved the success rate of testing in drilling process in open hole.
