# ResFrac Corporation

> ResFrac Corporation builds the industry's only fully coupled hydraulic fracturing and reservoir simulator, letting energy engineers model the full life of a well - from the first crack in the rock to years of production - in one continuous physics-based simulation. Founded in 2015 by Stanford-trained engineer Mark McClure, the Palo Alto company is used by over 35 operators and 50 institutions worldwide across shale, conventional and enhanced geothermal plays.

- **Founded:** 2015
- **Headquarters:** Palo Alto, California, United States
- **Founders:** Mark McClure (Co-Founder & CEO)
- **Team size:** ~36 employees
- **Products:** ResFrac (ResFracPro), ResApps, Enhanced Geothermal Systems toolkit, Training & consulting
- **Notable:** Built the only commercially available fully coupled hydraulic fracturing and reservoir simulator, Adopted by 35+ operators and 50+ institutions across every major North American unconventional basin, Mark McClure named to Hart Energy's 40 Under 40

## Products & services

- **ResFrac (ResFracPro)** — Fully coupled hydraulic fracturing and reservoir simulator that models multiphase flow, 3D fracture mechanics, proppant transport, poroelasticity, wellbore dynamics and thermal effects in one continuous simulation.
- **ResApps** — Suite of web-based engineering tools including FracTest (DFIT interpretation), StageOpt (stage spacing optimization), and IntTest (integrated testing).
- **Enhanced Geothermal Systems toolkit** — Configuration of the platform aimed at modeling EGS reservoirs and supporting geothermal developers like Fervo Energy.
- **Training & consulting** — Online training programs and applied technical consulting for operators adopting integrated simulation.

## Achievements
