Frac Engineer

Our team of Wellsite Supervisors and Frac Specialists are highly trained and experienced professionals who provide a range of services to help companies optimize the stimulation operation. Our wellsite supervisors can assist with the coordination of vendors, site/toe prep ops, frac operations, all the way through the drillout ops. The frac specialists provide onsite QAQC while implementing the treatments. With the assistance of a 3D frac modeling software, real-time data is collected and interpreted allowing the frac specialists to actively manage the frac job. 

Our frac specialists are trained to interpret downhole pressure responses in real-time and provide recommendations to the client on suggested modifications to the treatment. Their primary objective is to ensure the stage is pumped in a safe and effective manner which optimizes proppant placement. In addition, the frac specialists can help mitigate costs through adjustments to the pump schedule, adjustments to the chemical loadings (when possible), and through diligent inventory control ensuring service company field tickets are accurate.

In addition, all our onsite personnel have 24/7 access to the completion engineering team including upper management. This access allows the IPT team to help our clients navigate unique and challenging scenarios which may arise during the completion operations. Through open communication and collaboration with the client’s team, IPT’s priority is ensuring the project is a success.

The completions engineering team is also available to help plan and advise on the completion phase of the operation. Our personnel are on treatments in all major domestic basins therefore are exposed to a myriad of completions approaches and technologies. This in conjunction with our legacy database from 30+ years in the frac consulting business allows us to help clients identify potential obstacles in advance while working to optimize the outcomes. Additionally, leveraging our extensive experience, we utilize historical data from past fracs in a basin to aid in designing effective frac treatments. Notably, our engineers have designed and successfully performed several re-fracs that demonstrate our capability to enhance well performance significantly. We can help with fracture treatment design, refract evaluation, field studies, lookbacks, DFIT analysis and overall project management of the completions operation.
