DFIT & step-down interpreter

Two free Live+ diagnostics: classify a shut-in pre-closure regime and invert step-down plateaus into perf Cd + near-wellbore tortuosity. No signup, nothing stored.

Slope near 0 → radial, 0.25 → bilinear, 0.5 → √t formation-linear, 1 → fracture-linear. Compare against your G-function to lock closure.

Step-down inverter (perf Cd + NWB tortuosity)

Model: Δpperf=0.2369·ρ/(Cd²·n²·d⁴)·q²  +  ΔpNWB=K·q0.5. Defaults: 8.34 ppg, 0.42″ perfs, 40 shots, Cd_design 0.85.

Healthy K_nwb < 15, elevated 15–60, severe ≥ 60 psi/bpm0.5. Falling Cd implies plugged / eroded perfs.
