Flowback Data

Format

Even though the software can handle mixed data formats (e.g., hourly followed by daily), for flowback data analysis, it's recommended to create a project containing only hourly data.

The time step can be in any hourly format, but the units for rates need to be standardized as 'rate per day.' For data in 'rate per hour' format, simply multiply by 24 to convert it to 'rate per day'.
