This app provides a graphical very useful tool for training of Technicians, Drillers, Toolpushers, Drilling Engineers, Students and others professionals of the oil & gas industry to simulate a leak-off test.
About the Leak-off Test on drilling operations:
A test to determine the strength or fracture pressure of the open formation, usually conducted immediately after drilling below a new casing shoe.

Notes:
- For well control simulation, use another app "Well Control Simulator".
- For kick tolerance analysis, use another app "Kick Tolerance";
- For methods to control, use another app "Well Control Methods";
- For drilling simulation, use another app "Drilling Simulator";
- For hydraulic calculations, use another app "Drilling Hydraulics";
These tools can complement (work with) this simulator by importing /exporting data files which can be used in this application;
