FDI
Protect well integrity.
Maximize production.
FDI Playbook is ShearFRAC's solution to monitor, measure, and mitigate unwanted fracture-driven interactions (commonly called frac hits) between wells. Configurable response workflows give field crews the tools to protect parent wells and maintain production — in real time.
How FDI Playbook Works
A seamless workflow from data acquisition to actionable decisions.
Baseline
Establish normal pressure behavior for active and offset wells.
Monitor
Track real-time deviations from the baseline during pumping.
Detect
System flags interaction signatures based on configurable thresholds.
Mitigate
Crews follow pre-approved response playbooks to protect well integrity.
About FDI Playbook
Standardized workflows for detecting, assessing, and mitigating fracture-driven interactions across your completion program.
Real-time FDI detection and alerts
Continuous monitoring of pressure behavior across active and offset wells to identify fracture-driven interactions as they develop.
Configurable mitigation playbooks
Standardized response workflows that give field crews clear, immediate actions when an FDI event is detected.
Offset well monitoring integration
Simultaneous tracking of parent and child well behavior to understand inter-well communication dynamics.
Post-job FDI analysis, reporting and databasing
Comprehensive post-operation review of FDI events, including severity classification and well impact assessment.
Technical Specifications
Engineered to process massive data streams and execute complex real-time operations.
Active and multiple offset wells tracking concurrently
Immediate alerting upon interaction signatures
Tailored playbook prompts based on operator thresholds
What FDI Playbook Delivers
When wells communicate, you need answers fast. FDI Playbook gives your crews the information and response protocols to act before well integrity is compromised.
Protect well integrity in real time
Detect pressure communication between wells before it causes casing damage or production loss.
Standardized crew response
Configurable playbooks ensure consistent, repeatable mitigation actions regardless of which crew is on site.
Decision support for field crews
Clear visual indicators and action recommendations that operators can act on immediately.
Quantify FDI severity and impact
Stage-level classification of interaction events to inform future well spacing and completion design.
Thresholds and recommended actions are configurable by operator. The prompts below are adapted from a published webinar example.
Continuous offset well monitoring with clear indicators so crews can stay ahead of escalating interaction.
Prompt field crews to adjust treatment, e.g. increase proppant concentration by 0.25 PPG for a wellbore volume.
If interaction continues to increase, prompts may recommend rate reductions, e.g. reduce rate by two barrels a minute.
Evidence-Backed Results
Examples below are pulled from published case studies and technical papers. Results vary by basin, design, and execution.
Published outcomes (examples)
- Eagle Ford gas (SF-006): Stage placement +63%; stages with >80% planned fluid placement increased from 24% to 87%; and cumulative gas production +25% after 18 months.
- Delaware oil head-to-head (SF-010): Average interaction of 20 psi in 12/58 stages vs 50 psi in 50/58 stages, with +25% cumulative production improvement after 18 months.
- Haynesville gas (SF-013): 100% mitigation toward older offsets and >90% toward modern, with a record 180 MMscfd pad peak rate and forecasted 2.4 Bcf/1,000' EUR.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we customize the mitigation thresholds?
Yes, the playbook is fully configurable to your specific operational constraints and basin characteristics.
Does it work with simultaneous operations (SIMOPS)?
Yes, the platform can monitor multiple active and offset wells concurrently.
What kind of mitigation actions are supported?
Common actions include rate adjustments, proppant concentration changes, or pausing the stage to ensure well integrity.
