The Octiv Auto Frac service adds new capabilities to Halliburton's Zeus intelligent fracturing platform and its electric pumping units and SensoriTM fracture monitoring service. Before this service, fracture decisions were managed manually while pumping. Coterra can now configure the Octiv Auto Frac service to execute designs to their specifications and automate the entire fracture process.
The initial rollout of this service led to a 17% increase in stage efficiency. Based on these results, Coterra deployed the Octiv Auto Frac service to its remaining completion programs that Halliburton executes in the Permian Basin.
"Octiv Auto Frac changes the game of completion performance,” said Shawn Stasiuk, Halliburton’s Vice President of Production Enhancement. “The service ensures that automation delivers consistent fracture execution every stage while giving our customers the control they demand over their assets. The Octiv Auto Frac service is the first system to deliver on this promise.”
Coterra’s adoption of the Octiv Auto Frac service aligns with its approach to achieve operational performance through the use of advanced technologies.
Tom Jorden, CEO of Coterra, commented: “Coterra remains focused on maximising efficiencies and exploring new opportunities to improve our operations. The deployment of intelligent automation for hydraulic fracturing helps us execute stages consistently and provides us with more autonomy and control over the completion process.”
Octiv Auto Frac provides a step change in fracturing capability. This technology integrated in the ZEUS platform gives operators a unique and powerful solution to maximise consistency and efficiency and increase their asset value.
