Description
In an effort to enhance the deliverability potential of a tight gas well, operators sometimes overlook the "missing link" between stimulation design and the well’s post-frac production response. This presentation demonstrates that a properly designed and conducted closed-chamber PID test is a cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly method of obtaining critical prefrac reservoir parameters.
