Claim:
1. A net oil and gas well test system for testing a set of oil and gas wells, the set including a plurality of individual wells, the test system comprising: first and second net oil and gas measurement systems; a plurality of valves including at least a first and second valve, each valve configured for fluid communication with one of the individual wells, wherein each valve is independently configurable between a first state, in which the valve fluidly connects the corresponding well to the first net oil and gas measurement system, and a second state, in which the valve fluidly connects the corresponding well to the second net oil and gas measurement system; and a measurement controller including a processor and a memory, the measurement controller being in communication with the plurality of valves and the first and second net oil and gas measurement systems, the measurement controller being configured to: receive data from the first and second net oil gas measurement systems when the first valve is in the first state, and the second valve is in the second state; switch the first of said plurality of valves from the first state to the second state; receive switched data from the first and second net oil gas measurement systems after switching the first valve from the first state to the second state; and calculate a parameter of an output of the well that is associated with the first valve based on the received data and switched data.
