Diagnostic Procedures

IPT has been involved with the development of many of these techniques and we have integrated all necessary methods to optimize the benefit from the design and interpretation of fracturing and reservoir related diagnostic procedures. We use FracproPT to design and analyze most hydraulic fracturing related diagnostics and integrate our reservoir engineering tools in any post-closure or production analysis. This information is integrated with our database and used in the fracture treatment design. IPT's stimulation specialists are trained to read a treatment response and to know what options to recommend that have a track record of working.

We integrate diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs), pre-treatment injection design/evaluation and real-time analysis while pumping to interpret, design and optimize hydraulic fracture stimulation treatments. Our approaches also include integration of the petroleum reservoir engineering and well completion engineering interpretation in the process.

IPT's continuous study has resulted in the development and advanced understanding of many hydraulic fracturing diagnostic methods. We have developed an improved understanding with many of these techniques that is beyond most of what is published in the literature. Our predictive capability from most diagnostic procedures is repeatable in most reservoirs and has resulted in fracture treatment designs that are effective.
