A well can improve while the field around it suffers. PETEX built its software business around that awkward fact, connecting reservoirs, wells and pipelines so engineers can see what their decisions really do.
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.
