The Importance of a Live Feedback Loop in Completions
We know that in the world of completions, everyone is chasing the same goals: faster execution,
lower costs, and better wells. Yet, regardless of all the various innovations that have been
introduced, one thing hasn’t changed much...the way we learn.
Far too often, as we still see today, the process looks like this: Design - Execute - Wait.
A well gets designed, the frac is executed, and then (weeks later) ...the post-job report is
shared. Engineers are then able to draw valuable lessons about what worked, what didn’t, by
analyzing the charts and dissecting the data. Unfortunately, this time, equipment is now off-site;
the crew has moved on, and any opportunity to act on those valuable insights is long gone.
This isn’t optimization but simply having repetition with a recurring delay. We’re left learning in
hindsight, applying past lessons to future jobs...repeating the same inefficiencies in today’s
projects.
The Cost of Post-Job Learning
Imagine this: you’re reviewing pressure data after the fact, then realize that if a simple
adjustment had been made in the moment, it could have saved hours of time or prevented a
critical error. Anyone that's been in the field knows this feeling all too well.
This limiting, reactionary approach has become like a dead weight for most and is one of the
more challenging issues slowing down performance.
When stage inefficiencies, fluid imbalances, rate variations occur; these all add up to potentially
massive problems. With optimization, typically only able to happen after the report arrives, your
team spends increasingly valuable time diagnosing what went wrong instead of effectively
improving what’s happening right now. Every delay, every missed adjustment, gradually erodes
your profitability.
Ultimately, these cases don’t struggle due to a lack of data, but rather the timing of when it
lands.
The Evolution: Learning in Real Time
Collecting more data isn't what's going to rule out the future of completions, but instead the
acceleration of learning that takes place.
The world of completions as we see it will be one where a workflow contains a well design that
evolves with every progressive stage. Engineers aren't relegated to just reacting to results but
actively can participate in shaping them...using real-time insights to refine performance as they
go.
This is the power and strength of having a live feedback loop...a culture where every stage is
required to become a learning opportunity, and every decision stacks directly upon the last one.
You now have a dynamic process for continuous improvement, instead of a stagnant and dated
plan.
You no longer are limited to simply watching the data but can now act on it while it's still
relevant.
Innovation with the FracSol Suite
Given the frustrating gap between design and execution, at RevSolz, we’ve built the FracSol
suite to help operators bridge this gap by turning delayed learning into live adaptive action.
Here’s how it works:
FracSol TWM (Treatment Well Monitoring)
Gives your team live visibility into treatment rate, pressure, and fluid performance, all in one
intuitive interface. It highlights inefficiencies as they happen, not just log data. TWM also allows
you to adjust to a mid-job, not after the fact, if a planned rate isn’t being met efficiently, since the
system flags it.
FracSol FDI (Frac-Driven Interaction)
Identifies offset well responses and pressure anomalies in real time, adding another layer of
protection for operators. With FDI, you can manage fracture behavior proactively, and make
smarter optimization decisions at the moment, as it will pinpoint potential communication
before it creates irreparable damage.
Together, TWM and FDI give you an opportunity to no longer have to wait for post-job reports,
but instead allow you to make informed, confident adjustments for each step of the way.
They create a perfect combination, like a live, closed-loop system that connects the field to your
engineers in real time.
The end result? Smarter wells, stronger performance, and faster learning cycles.
Real-Time Learning: Home of The Future
Innovation in completion is all about turning critical insight into action...instantly, not simply
what the newest chemical blend or pumping technique may be.
When you begin to develop a culture focused on live feedback powered by RevSolz data, your
well-design can evolve more effectively as the operation unfolds. You can start refining in real
time and stop repeating yourself.
In today’s completions environments, teams that can learn the most efficiently and the fastest
are the ones that win.
Now what’s the most frustrating inefficiency you’ve seen repeated across stages or
wells—and how could live feedback have changed the outcome?
