FAQ’s
Explore answers to your queries about our innovative frac optimization methodologies
and technologies at Frac Science Group. Your journey to understanding and utilizing
our advanced real-time and post-completion analysis solutions begins here.
Yes. We can analyze your historical wells and create a database to have the baseline needed to optimize your operations on day 1. In fact, this is the best way to get the most out of the system prior to utilizing it in real time.
We highly encourage use of quartz gauges for collecting the treating pressure to fully take advantage of the proprietary software (we can work with standard frac van data in most cases for historical wells). The service runs on the cloud and pulls the 1 second frequency data from the API server that is included with our services along with the quartz gauges. Having a champion on location that adopts the real-time optimization tools for maximum benefit is highly recommended but not required. We are here to provide guidance for you to get the maximum benefit from the system through explaining the tools to your field personnel if needed.
FSG services can be used as a standalone service by Operator and Frac Companies, or it can be combined with other services to optimize different aspects of a completions or reservoir optimization of a field. We have access to completions and reservoir engineering experts, and we can integrate with your in-house teams to provide expertise in all aspects of your project from subsurface data interpretation to production handover. We have a unique and data driven approach that integrate with Operator’s Reservoir, Completions, Production, Drilling, Geology, Geo-steering and Petro-physics teams to complete the most efficient well-bore possible to maximize the hydrocarbon recovery. We have access to industry veterans If any project requires a unique expertise in the areas listed above that is not available in house. Our team of experts have knowledge in most basins in USA along with international experience as well.
Yes. Your data is protected with encryption in transit and at rest. We provide user accounts with different levels of authority so you can encourage your vendors to utilize our tools in real time while protecting your sensitive data. Clients performance results, BHA’s and subsurface data are not shared with other operators.
We can consume as much data as the operator can provide. At the minimum, we require a completions program and surveys and preferably we would like to have production data from offset wells along with a petrophysical log that is representative of the subject well. For long-term clients and projects, we have the in-house expertise to leverage any kind of subsurface data from seismic to cores and additionally real-time drilling data to perform an in-depth analysis of the target. No manual data entry is required from the operator.
In most cases we can deploy in less than 1 week for new clients and within 72 hours for ongoing clients with the capacity to scale in order to handle simultaneous jobs.
