Claim 0:
1. A computer implemented method of determining fracture interference in a hydraulically fractured well, comprising:
a. providing a computer having a processor, a non-transitory data storage medium, and a transceiver;
b. drilling a target well proximate an existing well;
c. fracturing the target well;
d. flowing back the target well;
e. measuring and collecting sensor data at the target well and the existing well;
f. electronically communicating the sensor data to the computer;
g. executing computer instructions stored within the non-transitory data storage medium instructing the processor to quantify a magnitude of interference between the target well and the existing well by applying an algorithm to the collected sensor data and modeling a quantitative pressure loss at the target well; and
h. transmitting a value of the magnitude of interference to a display or a controller.
