Step-rate Pressure Testing

Step-Rate Pressure Testing is a diagnostic hydrofracturing method in geomechanics that systematically increases injection pressure in discrete steps to identify the formation's fracture gradient and leak-off pressure by observing the transition between laminar and turbulent flow regimes at each stage.
