RTFO™ turns live frac data into automated, physics-based diagnostics that help completion teams reduce cost, identify stage issues early, and improve pad performance without additional equipment or field staff.
Physics-based diagnostics · No extra equipment · Stage-level resolution
RTFO is not just a dashboard. It is a real-time completion-engineering workflow that converts live treatment data into physics-based diagnostics, stage-level comparisons, and recommended actions before the job is over.
Isolation, closure, and interaction signals identified during the stage - not in a post-job review.
Physics-based analysis from existing treatment data can reduce reliance on costly add-on diagnostics and field workflows.
Shared diagnostics and recommendations keep engineers and field teams aligned pad after pad.
No additional equipment or on-location staff - connect data streams and run RTFO from the web.
Core RTFO diagnostics, grouped by the decisions teams make on pad - execution quality, interaction risk, and geometry-driven learning.
Keep every stage on plan with real-time diagnostics for treatment uniformity, cluster efficiency, isolation integrity, and near-wellbore friction - while the job is still in progress.
Diagnose uneven treatment before it hurts well performance
Quantifies how evenly treatment is distributed across clusters during each stage. Higher uniformity improves stimulated reservoir contact, reduces underperforming clusters, and helps completion teams diagnose design or execution issues before they impact well performance.
Act before the stage loses efficiency
Cluster closure reduces stage efficiency, worsens treatment uniformity, and can increase pumping time and cost. RTFO monitors closure indicators and uniformity index in real time to help teams identify risk and respond before the stage loses effectiveness.
Catch plug and isolation issues early
Automates pumpdown and stage-isolation diagnostics to identify plug, perf, and isolation issues before they compromise treatment quality. The workflow helps teams catch mechanical problems early and maintain consistent stage execution.
Consistent friction diagnostics without extra equipment
Automates stepdown analysis to estimate perforation and near-wellbore friction from routine pumping data. This gives teams a consistent stage-by-stage diagnostic without slowing operations or requiring additional field workflows.
Connect existing frac data streams to a centralized web platform - no additional equipment or field staff required.
Use the data you already collect on pad - no new sensors, trailers, or field crew.
Automated engineering analysis runs while pumping, not after the job wraps.
One place for stage diagnostics, pad comparisons, and next-step guidance.

“RTFO consolidated 5 open PDFs, 4 Excel calculators, 3 web-based data viewers, and 2 standalone programs into a single one-stop portal—allowing me to bypass the busywork and get straight to what matters most. I continue to find new applications with every completion. The unbiased insight RTFO provides is rivaled only by the brains behind it.”
“RTFO - real-time fracture monitoring platform, was a helpful addition for our first multi-well pad. It integrated seamlessly with multiple data sources to provide early insights into fracture geometry, stress shadowing and reservoir response, all displayed in map view to provide a comprehensive view of the whole completion in real-time.”
“The RTFO platform you guys have created is a Completion Engineer's dream. I am not sure why I didn't run into you guys before. It is a no-brainer!!!”
“I want to say how impressed we are with Real Time Frac Optimization (RTFO) platform and your team's responses to our requested changes. It really helped us understand and communicate operations to our stakeholders.”
