Cased-Hole Mini-Frac

Cased-hole mini-frac testing for stage-level stress calibration after casing — through perforations, sleeves, or ports.

The problem

Many wells only become available for stress testing after casing. You still need fracture gradient and closure data that match the intervals you will stimulate or inject into.

How we approach it

We design the perforated or ported interval, isolation (if required), and injection schedule so the diagnostic event represents the stage of interest. Analysis accounts for near-wellbore friction and whether the signature supports the completion plan.

Typical deliverables

  • Cased-hole interval and perforation/port plan input
  • Injection / shut-in dataset
  • Stress and friction interpretation notes
  • Completions-ready summary

Questions operators ask

Can this calibrate a multi-stage design?

Yes — when intervals are chosen to represent landing zones or stress barriers your model cares about.

Workover or dedicated test string?

Depends on well access and economics. We scope against your available window.
