Wellbore Integrity delivers per-stage production benchmarks using the Near-Field Connectivity Index — trained on 15,000+ stage measurements and continuously re-calibrated against real production outcomes. Surface-based. Non-invasive. Correlated to what actually comes out of the well.
The Problem
Today, the only way to know if a completion performed well is to wait months for production data. By then, you have completed dozens of wells with the same design — potentially repeating the same mistakes on every one.
Wellbore Integrity changes this. Instead of waiting for production to reveal problems, you get a production-correlated score during execution — on stage 1, not well 20.
Core Concept
NFCI quantifies how effectively a fracture stage connects to the near-field reservoir — the zone that drives early and sustained production.
Every stage receives an NFCI score benchmarked against the best-producing wells with a similar geological profile. Scores are not static: NFCI targets are trained on 15,000+ stage measurements and continuously re-calibrated as new production data arrives.
The result is a live, evolving standard — not a fixed threshold — that improves with every well in the database.
What NFCI is not: NFCI is not a static threshold or a lookup table. It is a continuously recalibrated benchmark trained on 15,000+ stage measurements that evolves with every new production dataset. Unlike fixed KPI targets, NFCI adapts to basin-specific geology and completion practices.
Surface-based acoustic sensing captures fracture behavior during pumping. No fiber, no downhole tools, no offset well.
Each stage is scored against production-correlated targets drawn from 100,000+ stages of completion and production data.
Targets re-calibrate automatically as new production outcomes feed back into the model. Every well sharpens the next prediction.
The Dashboard
Every stage receives a Near-Field Connectivity Index score benchmarked against production-correlated targets. The Wellbore Integrity dashboard surfaces deviations immediately — so you can course-correct before completing the next stage.
This is not a lookup table. It is a learning system. Operators who run Wellbore Integrity contribute to — and benefit from — a dataset that no single company could build alone.
Wellbore Integrity live feedback targets six completion objectives that directly influence production. Each objective is measured in real time and benchmarked against production-correlated targets.
Without measuring connectivity, you rely on production data that arrives months too late to change course.
Ensure fractures connect effectively to the productive reservoir zone closest to the wellbore — the primary driver of early-time and sustained production.
Without stress data, inter-well interference goes undetected until offset well performance drops.
Manage inter-stage and inter-cluster stress shadows to prevent fracture interference that degrades connectivity and creates uneven drainage.
Without flow distribution data, you cannot tell if your clusters are working or if half are dormant.
Achieve uniform flow across all perforation clusters within a stage. Poor distribution means some clusters take all the fluid while others starve.
Without real-time perf efficiency tracking, degradation accumulates unnoticed across every stage.
Maintain target perforation efficiency throughout each stage. Degradation intra-stage compounds variability and reduces effective stimulated reservoir volume.
Without consistency metrics, variability between stages becomes the norm — and variability is invisible until it shows up in production.
Reduce execution variability between stages so that identical designs produce comparable subsurface outcomes — not a coin flip.
Without closing the loop between design intent and actual execution, every completion is a one-way bet.
Benchmark actual fracture behavior against the original completion design. Identify where designs underperform and feed learnings back into future well planning.
Wellbore Integrity measurement feeds directly into the Seismos-powered workflow within ProFrac's Machina platform. Data flows through the full closed-loop workflow: measure, analyze, optimize — in a single integrated system.
