Closed-Loop Fracturing: First Field Deployment Results

Overview

‍

First field deployment of a closed-loop fracturing workflow where live subsurface feedback guided real-time response during stimulation. Stages with CLF intervention showed 12% perforation efficiency degradation versus 18% without — a 33% relative improvement representing a 6 percentage point efficiency gain per stage.

Key Results

‍

• 33% relative improvement in perforation efficiency — stages with CLF intervention degraded only 12% versus 18% without intervention
• First field deployment demonstrating that live subsurface feedback can be systematically used to guide treatment decisions intra-stage
• 6 percentage point efficiency gain sustained across intervention stages — not a single-stage result but a repeatable, systematic outcome
• Real-time SAFA measurements provided the decision inputs that surface treating pressure alone cannot supply
