Halliburton Company has introduced a revolutionary new service in the oil and gas industry with the launch of its Octiv Auto Frac service.
This latest addition to the Octiv Intelligent Fracturing Platform marks a significant leap forward in hydraulic fracturing technology.
The Octiv Auto Frac service represents a breakthrough in operational efficiency and performance. It offers customers unprecedented autonomous control over their fracturing fleet, enabling them to execute fracture designs without human intervention.
This first-of-its-kind automation service makes thousands of decisions during the pumping process, based on pre-set job designs and control inputs, while continuously adapting to dynamic stimulation conditions.
Enhanced Operational Consistency: The Octiv Auto Frac service significantly improves operational consistency, leading to enhanced completion performance.
Autonomous Control: Customers gain full autonomous execution of fracturing jobs, reducing the need for manual oversight and potential human error.
Intelligent Decision-Making: The system automates thousands of decisions during the fracturing process, ensuring optimal performance based on real-time conditions.
Halliburton has positioned the Octiv Auto Frac service as part of a comprehensive fracturing solution.
When combined with the ZEUS electric fracturing platform and the Sensori Fracture Monitoring Service, it creates a fully integrated system that optimises fracture operations through intelligent automation.
Jeff Miller, Halliburton’s Chairman, President, and CEO, emphasised the significance of this technology, stating: “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.”
The introduction of the Octiv Auto Frac service is poised to transform the hydraulic fracturing landscape.
By digitising and automating workflows, information, and equipment across all aspects of fracture operations, Halliburton aims to provide safer and more efficient operations for both its customers and its own teams.
This advancement in fracturing technology aligns with the industry’s push towards digital transformation and automation.
It promises to lower the total cost of ownership for customers while delivering more consistent and precise well pad results.
As the oil and gas industry continues to evolve, Halliburton’s Octiv Auto Frac service represents a significant step towards fully autonomous and digitally-driven fracturing operations, potentially setting a new standard for efficiency and performance in the field.
