How Frac Playbook Works
A seamless workflow from data acquisition to actionable decisions.
Benchmark
Establish a baseline performance profile for the pad to evaluate future stages.
Measure
Track live stage performance against the benchmark in real time.
Decide
System recommends cutting underperforming stages or extending overperforming ones.
Execute
Crews confidently adjust the pump schedule in real time for immediate savings.
About Frac Playbook
Data-driven completion cost management that puts stage-level economics at the center of every decision.
Prioritize high-performing stages
Identify and invest in stages showing strong fracture development — allocate resources where they drive the most value.
Reduce spend on underperformers
Recognize underperforming stages in real time and reduce material waste before completion costs escalate.
Standardized decision rules
Consistent, repeatable completion logic across all crews and shifts — reducing variability and improving program-level outcomes.
Real-time schedule adjustments
Adapt pump schedules based on measured stage behavior, not static pre-job designs.
Technical Specifications
Built to provide rapid economic insights directly on the pad.
Dynamic evaluation versus pad benchmarks
Direct savings via resource reallocation
Standardized, configurable economic boundaries
What Frac Playbook Delivers
Every dollar counts in completions. Frac Playbook ensures your spend is directed where it drives the most production — stage by stage, well by well.
Stage-level cost optimization
Link fracture performance metrics to completion spend in real time. See which stages are delivering ROI.
Adaptive pump schedules
Modify stage designs on the fly based on live performance signals — shorter stages when warranted, extended when beneficial.
Program-level consistency
Apply the same decision framework across wells, pads, and basins. Every crew follows the same playbook.
Post-job performance review
Comprehensive cost-per-stage and performance analysis to continuously refine your completion design.
- $1.53MM in cost savings through reductions in time on location, fluid usage, and chemical consumption.
- +20% uplift in 7-month production across 19 wells vs 572 offsets (5-mile radius, 2020+ vintage).
- Lower intensities vs offsets: 43.5 bbl/ft fluid and 2300 lbs/ft proppant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can we typically save per well?
While results vary by basin, published case studies show savings up to $1.5M per pad by eliminating wasted fluid and proppant.
Will adjusting schedules impact production?
The goal is to optimize the effective stimulated volume. By redirecting capital from poor stages to good ones, operators often see a net increase in production.
Do crews need special training?
Yes, ShearFRAC provides on-site enablement to ensure crews understand the decision logic and are comfortable making real-time adjustments safely.
