Save $300K on Your Next Frac

that could save you $300K

on your next frac

‍

With oil prices sliding, every extra minute of pump time and gallon of diesel is a line item you can shrink. Most of that “free” money lives in the frac vans hidden in pressure curves, friction drift, and plug surprises.

Here are five common levers and their typical payouts. Stack just two of those wins, and the $300K goal is Tuesday-level achievable.

• Diesel usage | Separate pipe vs. perf friction; drop unnecessary pressure | $50K-$75K per well
• Friction reducer spend | Adjust FR concentration and decrease friction costs | Up to $40K saved
• Stage length | Increase stage length and cut stages per well | $150K-$200K upside
• Plug integrity | Flag plug slips and leaks before they become major headaches | ≈ $150K remedial hit avoided
• Cluster distribution (UI) | Boost Uniformity Index by tweaking fluid/proppant on the fly and cut underperforming stages short | +2.5% first-year oil; big NPV bump

*** All numbers come from field cases detailed in the SAFA whitepaper.

How SAFA saves

you $300K+ in Real Time

‍

SAFA’s surface-only acoustic system “listens” to rate changes (planned or accidental) and instantly splits pipe vs. perf friction.

That live stream gives you:

• Perforation efficiency & UI – one glance shows who’s choking or stealing fluid
• Entry-hole diameter checks – verify shot spec without downhole tools
• Plug-slip radar – catch leakers before they snowball
• Treating-pressure prediction – see the pressure you should be at and fix drift instantly.
  
  

No downhole hardware, zero NPT—just actionable data while the iron’s still humming.
