Services · Fractured wells

Fracture diagnostics & post-frac evaluation

From the breakdown and DFIT to the post-frac build-up, we interpret the pressure data that tells you whether the fracture you pumped is the fracture you got.

Well test interpretation for fractured wells

Why it matters

Design better fracs. Prove what you created.

Pressure transient analysis turns fracture diagnostics and post-frac data into numbers you can use — for the next treatment design and for the reservoir model.

  • Interpret DFIT, minifrac and ACA data for a better main-frac design
  • Quantify fracture half-length, conductivity and frac-face damage
  • Compare the actual fracture with the design
  • Track fracture performance over the life of the well

What we deliver

Before, during and after the treatment

Pre-frac diagnostics

  • DFIT, ACA, SRT, minifrac and breakdown interpretation
  • Closure pressure, leak-off and reservoir permeability
  • Direct support to your frac engineer

Data acquisition

  • Acquisition plans that make post-frac data interpretable
  • Gauge selection, durations and sequencing

Post-frac evaluation

  • Fracture half-length, conductivity and damage
  • Reservoir permeability
  • Fracture performance monitored over time

Planning a well test?

Design a test that answers your questions

Tell us your objectives. We’ll design a test that meets them with minimum rig time and flaring — and support you during operations.

Already have pressure & rate data?

Get it analysed by specialists

Need an interpretation, a re-analysis with deconvolution, or a second opinion on an existing report? Send us the data securely and we’ll tell you what it can reveal.
