DFIT

The Unconventional Well Test

DFIT – The Unconventional Well Test course will review the theory of fracture-injection/falloff testing, the design of DFITs, and interpretation of DFIT data using both straight-line and type-curve methods. Design and interpretation methods will be illustrated with North American field examples, including horizontal and vertical well DFITs in unconventional reservoirs. Additionally, field case studies will be included to show how DFIT interpretations can be used in production data analysis of wells producing from unconventional reservoirs.
