Services
At Bradian, we focus on improving the performance of hydraulic fracturing projects by offering a range of customizable services. Our innovative processes allow us to deliver thorough results, detailed analyses, and clear insights—all in a collaborative environment.
Planning
Collaborating closely with the Geology & Geophysics, Completions, and Business teams ensures that every stage of the operation is optimized for peak performance, cost efficiency, and safety
Historical Assessment
Working closely with technical and business groups, data from off-set wells is expertly reviewed and presented with a focus on minimizing operational risk while optimizing cost.
Modeling & Diagnostics
To explore a range of possibilities, we simulate multiple pumping schedule scenarios and use diagnostic tools such as DFITs and rate-step tests.
Program Design
Through careful assessments and diagnostic techniques, we create detailed pumping schedules that specify fluid and sand types, optimal pumping rates, sand concentrations, and strategic completion plans.
Procurement Support
Leveraging our program design, our RFP package clearly outlines the project's framework. We then perform a two-step normalization process to ensure the most accurate pricing for vendor selection and AFEs.
Training and Courses
Our training program is delivered in a modern, engaging format that follows the journey of sand from the surface down to the formation. Throughout this process, key questions are addressed to deepen your team's understanding.
Execution
Effective field operations directly influence a project's productivity, cost management, and quality of outcomes. Real-time data analysis, proactive decision making, and robust vendor management are fundamental components in ensuring operational success and maintaining high performance
Fracture Monitoring
Utilizing streaming field data, we provide both remote and in-house support for your pumping operations, ensuring proactive decision-making and effective project management
Vender Management
We support field staff by providing assistance with task management, problem solving, and quality control to ensure that operations are both safe and cost-effective.
Regulatory Compliance
By engaging proactively with regulators, we ensure compliance with all regional frameworks—supporting operational continuity, building stakeholder trust, and protecting your reputation.
Review
By prioritizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and reinforcing it through regular project evaluations, we help drive project competitiveness, optimize resources, and support long-term success in a constantly evolving industry.
Post-Frac Evaluation
Pumping charts are analyzed to identify best practices and operational efficiencies, while ancillary services are reviewed in parallel to deliver actionable recommendations for continuous improvement.
Project Cost Audit
Field costs are compared against pumping data and the preliminary RFP to identify billing irregularities, cost overruns, non-productive time (NPT), and opportunities for cost improvement
