Derivative of pressure with respect to the G-function

Diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs) are commonly interpreted by plotting pressure versus a function of time called the G-function. The G-function seems rather arcane and is often misunderstood. However, it has […]

How to plot a DFIT

Diagnostic fracture injection test in a Cartesian plot.

Aside from the diversity of terminology, the diversity of plotting techniques is the aspect of DFIT analysis that most often causes confusion. Why don’t we just make a Cartesian plot of pressure […]
