ADVANCED TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Calfrac’s Asset Enhancement services team provides advanced technical expertise and in-depth analyses for your reservoir. Our multidisciplinary approach incorporates best practices from reservoir characterization, hydraulic fracturing design and placement operations to improve efficiencies and provide the necessary information and advice to make more informed business decisions.
RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION
Every reservoir and every well is unique. Expert evaluation of reservoir characteristics allows the stimulation program to be tailored to your reservoir. This customization results in the most effective treatment for your pressure pumping program.
POST-FRAC PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Our partnership does not end after hydraulic fracturing. We provide the follow-up analysis required to assess a treatment’s effectiveness and help to refine and optimize future stimulations.
