Turning post-frac data into
reservoir intelligence.
ResBRAIN® is an automated stage-level Post-Frac Pressure Decay (PFPD) analysis platform that transforms raw pressure data into actionable reservoir intelligence. Automated data loading, QC, and analysis provide validated insights helping engineers understand reservoir response faster.
How ResBRAIN® Works
A seamless workflow from data acquisition to actionable decisions.
Stage Completion
Pumping stops and pressure fall-off begins immediately after the stage.
Automated QC
ResBRAIN automatically identifies the end of pumping and validates data quality.
Analysis
Advanced algorithms determine effective ISIP and calculate fracture half-length.
Results
Deliverables are available within hours, enabling same-pad adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the fall-off data take to analyze?
Initial outputs like ISIP and fluid efficiency are available in 30 minutes. Full characterization takes 3-10 hours of fall-off.
Does ResBRAIN replace my reservoir engineers?
No, it empowers them by automating the tedious data QC and preliminary analysis, letting them focus on completion design changes.
What data is required?
High-resolution surface pressure data during the fall-off period.
