Abstract:
The diagnostic fracture injection test, commonly known as a DFIT, is frequently used in conventional and unconventional reservoirs (e.g., tight gas, shale gas, tight coals) to calibrate the hydraulic fracture treatment. In a normal stress regime, a single test can calibrate the in-situ stress profile and provide parameters such as reservoir pressure and transmissibility. However, in strike-slip regimes a single test cannot adequately derive strain values to develop an accurate stress profile as compared to multiple, precise, well-designed multi-DFIT program.
