Abstract:

Hydraulic fracturing operations have historically relied on indirect indicators and post-treatment diagnostics to evaluate stimulation effectiveness and wellbore integrity. Recent advances in non-invasive acoustic sensing now enable continuous measurement of wellbore friction signatures during pumping, providing real-time subsurface insight.

This presentation demonstrates how Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA) can support closed-loop fracturing workflows by converting live friction measurements into cluster efficiency and uniformity. This subsurface intelligence allow operators to make informed adjustments intrastage to improve stimulation uniformity which can lead to +16 MBO/10k feet and 7% additional BOE after 9 months per recent Seismos publications spanning multiple basins and 300 wells.
