Halliburton optimizes fracturing operations with new automated frac technology

(WO) – Halliburton Company introduced the Octiv Auto Frac service, the latest addition to the Octiv Intelligent Fracturing Platform. The Octiv platform digitizes and automates workflows, information, and equipment across all aspects of the company’s fracture operations. This results in safer, more efficient operations for our customers and for Halliburton.

The Octiv Auto Frac service improves operational consistency and enhances completion performance and gives customers autonomous control of their frac fleet. This is the first-ever automation service that enables customers to execute their fracture design without human intervention.

Octiv Auto Frac automates thousands of decisions while pumping, based on customer job designs and pre-job control inputs, with constant response to dynamic stimulation conditions.

“Combined with the ZEUS platform and the Sensori service, we provide consistency and remove variability from job execution to lower the total cost of ownership for customers. Halliburton's frac automation technologies are the cornerstone of how we deliver well pad results with unmatched precision and efficiency. As our customers execute completions with ever-increasing size and intensity, Auto Frac provides better control and consistent completion execution,” said Halliburton Chairman, President, and CEO Jeff Miller.

The Octiv Auto Frac service combined with the ZEUS electric fracturing platform and the Sensori Fracture Monitoring Service is a fracturing solution that uses intelligent automation to optimize fracture operations and makes the digital frac site a reality.
