DFIT and mini-frac advisory — design, coordinate, interpret.
A DFIT is only useful if the pump schedule, isolation, falloff window, and gauges are designed for the question you will actually ask of the rock.
Alberta focus; Calgary / Edmonton-area operators and consultants. Saskatchewan and BC welcome.

Results packaged for decisions — not a chart dump from the lease.
Operators often order a mini-frac and receive a pressure file that cannot answer the completion question they thought they paid for. Closure, after-closure, and leakoff behaviour need a designed injection, a quiet falloff, and gauges that survive the well.
We write DFIT programs that match the decision — stress, permeability indication, or a frac-model calibration — then coordinate FBA / pump-down / isolation vendors so the test is not improvised on location. Interpretation is handed to partner PTA specialists against a defined scope; we do not pretend a field supervisor is a reservoir engineer.
If you already have a service company lined up, we still add value: injection volume and rate bounds, ISIP capture, falloff duration, H2S and pressure limits, and a data package that your completions team can defend.
- Injection / falloff designed to the decision, not a default recipe
- FBA, isolation, and gauge coordination
- ISIP, closure, and after-closure data requirements written down
- Partner PTA interpretation handoff — not a black-box PDF

Welltest Advisory provides independent program design, vendor matching, coordination, and data-package support. Licensed service companies perform field work, operate equipment, and hold the relevant tickets. AER-aware language on this site is planning guidance, not legal, regulatory, or engineering stamp advice.

FAQ
Is a DFIT the same as a mini-frac?
People use the words interchangeably. We treat DFIT as a designed diagnostic injection and falloff. Mini-frac often means a small stim with leftover data. The program is different.
Do you interpret the DFIT in-house?
We scope the interpretation and hand it to partner PTA experts. You get a defined deliverable, not an unsigned chart dump.
