Halliburton and Coterra Vitality introduced the launch of autonomous hydraulic fracturing know-how in North America with the Octiv® Auto Frac service, which is a part of the ZEUS platform. This know-how automates stage supply execution with the push of a button. Coterra is the primary operator to completely automate and management their hydraulic fracturing design and execution.
The Octiv Auto Frac service provides new capabilities to Halliburton’s Zeus clever fracturing platform and its main electrical pumping models and Sensori™ fracture monitoring service. Earlier than this service, fracture selections had been managed manually whereas pumping. Coterra can now configure the Octiv Auto Frac service to execute designs to their specs and automate your entire fracture course of.
Coterra and Halliburton acknowledge the significance of automation for consistency and management throughout fracture execution. The preliminary rollout of this service led to a 17% improve in stage effectivity. Primarily based on these outcomes, Coterra deployed the Octiv Auto Frac service to its remaining completion applications that Halliburton executes within the Permian Basin.
“Octiv Auto Frac adjustments the sport of completion efficiency,” stated Shawn Stasiuk, Halliburton’s vice chairman of Manufacturing Enhancement. “The service ensures that automation delivers constant fracture execution each stage whereas giving our clients the management they demand over their belongings. The Octiv Auto Frac service is the primary system to ship on this promise.”
Coterra’s adoption of the Octiv Auto Frac service aligns with its strategy to realize operational efficiency by means of the usage of superior applied sciences.
“Coterra stays targeted on maximizing efficiencies and exploring new alternatives to enhance our operations. The deployment of clever automation for hydraulic fracturing helps us execute phases persistently and supplies us with extra autonomy and management over the completion course of,” stated Tom Jorden, CEO of Coterra.
Octiv Auto Frac supplies a step change in fracturing functionality. This know-how built-in within the ZEUS platform offers operators a novel and highly effective resolution to maximise consistency and effectivity and improve their asset worth.
