Optimizing Fracturing Operations: Enhancing Production and Capital Efficiency with Active Frac Guidance

January 24, 2024
Drill2Frac, ShearFRAC, Corva
Join us for an innovative collaboration between ShearFRAC, Drill2Frac, and Corva, designed to revolutionize your completion operations through data-driven solutions. The journey to enhanced capital efficiency begins with Drill2Frac’s characterization of the lateral, providing a solid foundation for proactively developing an optimized completion strategy for the actual well drilled. During the stimulation treatment, ShearFRAC will showcase how pressure responses are continuously monitored, enabling real-time recommendations for operational adjustments. This process ensures that your operations remain responsive and adaptable, leading to improved performance. These processes are made possible through Corva's cloud-based data capture and analytics platform. This technology fusion paves the way for accelerated production recovery, minimizes fracture-driven interactions, reduces completion costs, and lessens the environmental footprint of your operations. We will equip you with the knowledge and insights necessary to harness the power of data and analytics, empowering you to enhance capital efficiency across the entire completion value chain.
