The problem
Full stimulations are expensive teachers. When stage design, cluster spacing, or landing zone choices hinge on stress, you need a controlled mini-frac — not a guess from a sonic log alone, and not a tank-rental SERP result.
How we approach it
We plan isolation, injection rates, and shut-in windows so the pressure curve is interpretable. Open-hole or cased-hole geometry drives packer and perforation choices. Analysis focuses on closure, ISIP, and whether the event stayed in zone — language operators use in morning meetings.
Typical deliverables
- Pre-job test plan with interval, fluids, and success criteria
- Field pressure / rate record with QC notes
- Closure, ISIP, and fracture gradient interpretation
- Operator summary suitable for completions handoff
