DFITs/RFITs
To aide in the planning of efficient well stimulation, DFITs have become standard practice. During the test, a solution is pumped with the intention of fracturing the formation but is stopped as soon as breaking occurs. Conducting DFITs to determine reservoir pressure, permeability, fracture gradients, and fracture closure pressure can maximize savings on frac designs.
Features & Benefits
- Reduce time and cost by 50% on average by having access to real-time data
- Synchronized turbine flow meter and pressure data
- Text and email alerts keep you aware of your operations
- Evaluate depletion and anticipate frac communication
- High resolution, high accuracy data

Frac Interference
In a time where it is not uncommon to see several wells drilled on a single pad, monitoring your offset wells for interference is more important than ever. Using EBOT’s paired with the Fastrack communication system to record and stream pressures of clustered wells that are offset to a well being fractured can reveal inter-well pressure interference/communication in certain zones and can lead to corrective measures to optimize well spacing and maximize production.
Features & Benefits
- Monitor and/or protect offset wells during pressure pumping
- Perfectly time-synchronized data regardless of well location
- Evaluate well spacing and frac designs
- Understand where your fracture is going
- High resolution, high accuracy, one-second data
- Perfect solution for SWPN, Reveal, FDI, and other frac analysis/diagnostics

Fluid Levels
On occasion, customers will come across a well that is underperforming due to the loading of a liquid column. In gas wells, the ABOT system is used by our skilled technicians to first identify the severity of liquid loading, allowing customers to quickly plan a course of remediation, and then to monitor the progress of the recourse. In oil wells, understanding liquid levels can help customers determine a well’s producing rate efficiency and maximum production potential.
Features & Benefits
- Options for manual or automated shots for continuous testing
- Estimate bottom-hole pressure calculations by pairing fluid shots with surface pressure
- Locate scale, paraffin, and other common blockages

Frac Van Monitoring
To aide in the planning of efficient well stimulation, DFITs have become standard practice. During the test, a solution is pumped with the intention of fracturing the formation but is stopped as soon as breaking occurs. Conducting DFITs to determine reservoir pressure, permeability, fracture gradients, and fracture closure pressure can maximize savings on frac designs.
Features & Benefits
- Time-synchronized offset well pressures for interference monitoring
- Access all desired treatment channels in real-time
- Unbiased, third-party raw data
- Perfectly time-synced data across frac, wireline, and pump down operations
- REST API streams data directly to your database
- Custom text/email alerts for field and office personnel
