MinFrac Workshop

Spend a full day with Lucas Bazan in an interactive classroom setting as he explains the theory, functionality, and application of MinFrac.

The course will focus on the theory and utility of Step Rate, Step Down, Nolte G, and after closure analyses. Learn the methodology for successfully analyzing DFIT (Diagnostic Fracture Injection Tests) and the use of superposition derivatives with confidence. The Nolte G function and theory behind G dP/dG, ISIP – G dP/dG, and other superposition derivatives will be discussed. Learn the proper technique for picking consistent closures and the relationships between ISIP, closure pressure, net pressure, and fracture efficiency. Understand why many analysts consistently over-predict reservoir capacity (kh) and reservoir pressure when performing after closure analyses. Numerous examples and cases studies will be presented to provide hands-on training.

This course is structured for engineers interested in expanding their current knowledge and techniques for performing minifrac analyses and those interested in enhancing their company’s hydraulic fracturing diagnostic program for conventional and unconventional formations.
