Abstract

Performing a hydraulic fracture test includes conveying a downhole sub in a borehole to a formation, the downhole sub including a first sealing member, a second sealing member, and an extendable member disposed between the first sealing member and the second sealing member. The first sealing member and the second sealing member are actuated to define a first isolated zone within the borehole. A fluid is introduced to the borehole wall via the extendable member to fracture the formation whether extended or not, and a property of the formation is estimated at least in part using an output signal from a downhole transducer.
