DFIT Analysis

Pressure decay after shut-in — G-function / ACA

After-closure analysis: closure picked at 7,100 psi — matches the MEM Shmin row; breakdown updated to 8,268 psi.

Stress Profile vs Depth

Shmin across the target — stress reversal

Barrier stress contrast — upper +650 psi (1.09×), lower +850 psi (1.12×) above the interval Shmin: favorable for height containment.

Fracture Geometry (Design)

Width profile — max 0.29 in @ 8,754 ft

Perforated interval 8,742–8,766 ft; design height 50 ft (8,729–8,779 ft).

Recommendations

Design changes before pumping

  1. 1Increase pad volume by 15% to reduce early-screenout risk.
  2. 2Stair-step rate to 22 bpm for better height control.
  3. 3Consider TSO (tip screenout) design to raise conductivity.
  4. 4Monitor post-frac BHP for 48 hours.
