About Chris Neale

Fracture ID uses patented Drillbit Geomechanics™ technology to generate high-resolution measurements of critical reservoir characteristics, enabling operators to better understand their reservoirs and place frac stages with greater precision. Using commercially available and near-bit data recorders, Fracture ID collects and analyzes downhole measurements at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. These provide the operator with an informed, quantitative view of rock properties in unconventional reservoirs. By providing more accurate measurements at lower risk and revealing the optimal position for frac stages, Fracture ID helps maximize hydrocarbon recoveries, increase IP rates, reduce costs, and ultimately improve net present value.

Experience

1. President and Founder

   Fracture Id

   Aug 2014 — Present · Denver, CO

   Fracture ID was started in 2014 to provide high resolution reservoir properties along the wellbore to improve completions efficiency. We acquire high frequency drilling dynamics data, measured close to the drill bit, to identify fracture swarms and to determine rock properties of the contacted reservoir. The service is priced at a fraction of conventional methods of collecting similar information, allowing all wells to be monitored. The information provided by the monitoring allows Operating companies to target the most productive rock types in a well, while possibly bypassing sub-commercial zones to improve the economics of each well monitored.
