Our simple, accurate, affordable pressure-based fracture maps let you make informed, better completion decisions with minimum operational risk and cost. The patented, award-winning fracture maps of half-length, height, asymmetry, and azimuth confirm whether a stimulation treatment is producing the planned fracture dimensions. You can quickly decide if a development’s varying geology requires a change in the treatment to support your field development goals. #pressurebasedfracturemaps #hydraulicfracturing #Fracturemap

At Interface Fluidics we provide critical fluid property data to energy companies globally to enable them to improve short-term financial performance, extract more value from their assets and make better decisions faster. We specialize in evaluating fluid performance under the toughest industrial conditions. Since 2015 weve been leading the energy industry supported by our clients. Our pore-scale technologies and solutions give energy companies the critical insights they need into fluid behaviour. From subsurface plays to surface infrastructure, we can test changes in the system to protect assets, improve productivity, reduce cost, and save time. In the energy sector our services support: - EOR Programs - Frac Fluid Optimization - MMP Testing - PVT and Fluid Phase Behaviour Tests - Flow Assurance and Formation Damage Projects - SAGD Operations, and more. Weve built our expertise and proven our SapphireLab platform working across major basins in North America, the Middle East, and Off-Shore. Our versatile solutions, backed by deep experience, have proven successful across various industries. Weve brought nano-technology from academic proof to practical tests delivering reliable insights.

Upwing Energy is securing global energy needs in an economical and environmentally sustainable way. We help our clients increase the production and recovery of natural gas from their existing wells with minimal human and capital resources and minimal environmental impact. We minimize the need for costly human and capital resources by providing a comprehensive End2End natural gas service enabled by our subsurface compressor systems. We minimize environmental impact by mitigating the need to drill and frack new natural gas wells, producing net-zero carbon emission gas when possible by using renewable energy to power our subsurface compressors, and maintaining our carbon neutrality as a company.
