C&J Energy Services And Seismos Agree On A Strategic Partnership Targeting Hydraulic Fracture Characterization

C&J Energy Services is teaming with Seismos to collaborate on the industry’s first real-time hydraulic fracture characterization solution. The alliance leverages the strength of a proven oilfield services provider with an entrepreneurial, leading-edge technology company. The combined vision is to develop innovative, fit-for-purpose workflows that translate reservoir understanding into significant improvements in fracturing plans, field development and operational efficiency.

The partnership will focus its initial efforts on the real-time quantification of the impact of various completion designs on stage performance, enabling them to adjust frac treatments on the fly. Leveraging C&J’s LateralScience geomechanical data, together with detailed fracture-system measurements from Seismos, operators are now able to understand and quantify the impact of various completion designs on stage performance. Teaming together, C&J and Seismos not only deliver the right completion design for the lateral, but they also ensure that the plan is optimally executed.

About Seismos
Seismos is a technology innovator that offers the oil and gas industry’s first noninvasive, direct measurement of fracture-network properties during hydraulic fracturing operations. This enables E&P companies to adjust and optimize their fracturing treatments in real time, thus transforming the production profile of their wells and fields. Seismos technology delivers robust information about the geometry and characteristics of the fracture network, as well as an understanding of its ability to flow back hydrocarbons. This technology has provided critical insight to thousands of stages across various U.S. shale plays, including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Trend, Austin Chalk formation, Haynesville/Bossier Shale and the DJ Basin.
