Demystifying the G-function

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

The same DFIT data as above, displayed in a log-log plot with derivative taken with respect to actual time

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 […]
