Uniformity Index can be calculated from post-frac downhole imaging or from real-time acoustic friction measurement. These approaches answer different questions and can produce different values for the same stage. Here is what operators need to know before comparing UI numbers across technologies.
Read Article →Closed-loop fracturing represents a paradigm shift from reactive to controlled completions execution. Instead of designing a frac schedule and hoping it performs, CLF measures subsurface behavior in real time and adjusts automatically. This guide covers the four core components, how they work together, and what operators should expect from deployment.
Read Article →A 400 psi guess can cost 20% perforation efficiency. Here's what treating pressure hides and why direct acoustic measurement of pipe friction and perforation friction provides the subsurface visibility that treating pressure analysis fundamentally cannot deliver.
Read Article →Uniformity Index measures how evenly fluid distributes across perforation clusters. With a published R²=0.92 correlation to production, UI is the single most predictive metric for completion quality. Learn how it's measured, what the numbers mean, and why every 0.1-point improvement adds approximately $300K in NPV per well.
Read Article →Four key takeaways from our HFTC 2026 presentation on supervised closed-loop fracturing: real-time measurement via SAFA, AI-driven analysis, operator-supervised decision logic, and automated execution through ProPilot. What it means for the next phase of completions optimization.
