The Undercover Threat: Prevent Detrimental Damage to Your Offset Wells by Minimizing Frac Communication
In completions, treatment-offset well communication is a critical risk that must be closely watched.
The reality in many situations involves the following: years spent planning a development, millions of dollars already invested, and countless hours being dedicated to getting a pad ready. The pumps are humming, all crews are locked in...and then out of nowhere, it happens; hydraulic pressure migrates into a nearby offset well.
This unexpected spike is more than just a minor "blip" on the radar...it's a critical warning sign. A signal to everyone involved that your production forecasts may be at risk, as seen through your offset wells.
Now every operator is fully aware that offset wells can be vulnerable during frac operations, so this isn't a new challenge they face. Unfortunately, what often poses the greatest challenge to teams, somewhat blindsided them, is the sheer speed with which communication occurs and the substantial damage it causes. Leaving behind it: impaired production, costly remediation, and painful downtime.
Consequently, when these time pressure anomalies do get identified in a static report and/or communicated hours later, the opportunity to intervene has already passed. The harsh reality being the entire industry has always needed to play defense in these scenarios, with one hand tied behind its back.
A True Early Warning System: Moving Beyond Reports
As a common occurrence many faces, that’s why RevSolz developed FracSol FDI (Frac-Driven Interaction monitoring): a real-time, early warning system carefully designed to protect your offsets WHILE the stage is still pumping.
Imagine a tool that acts as a radar system for your pad.
FDI allows you to identify and highlight the subtle, critical signals that indicate potential risk, rather than overwhelming crews with raw data and noise. It allows you to transform massive datasets into actionable intelligence with configurable thresholds, severity scoring, and clear real-time alerts.
And what’s the most important resource FDI gives your team...Time.
You get time to spot the signal, time to respond, and ultimately additional time to preserve years of investment before a problem spins out of control.
Realistic Mitigation on the Pad: From Signal to Action
FDI is about enabling practical, coordinated action on-site, not just flashing a warning light. Supervisors, engineers, and crew members don’t need to spend critical time cross-checking spreadsheets or relying on their gut instinct when an alert is triggered.
By leveraging RevSolz’s interactive dashboards, everyone has access to the same information simultaneously, powering smart, collaborative decisions such as:
• Slowing down stage pace to reduce pressure head
• Venting or bleeding down offset wells to protect casing integrity
• Adjusting active clusters for a more balanced stimulation profile
• Temporarily shutting in offsets to minimize production risk
Utilizing FDI is about precise intervention, not abruptly halting operations...its quick, targeted efforts being taken to prevent an expensive disaster, without compromising the entire job.
One Source of Truth: Universal Data Across Vendors
We know on any given pad, often times you have multiple service providers, who are operating their own data systems and standards, making the oilfield crowded. The effect? In the most critical moments when speed matters most, you get blind spots, delays, and confusion.
With FracSol FDI being a vendor-neutral platform, you can eliminate this confusion and inconsistency, as it standardizes signals across all service providers, creating a single source of truth.
It means all teams are aligned, sharing the same live insights, and responding as one cohesive unit...from engineering teams, frac crews, and supervisors, you're no longer chasing conflicting updates or working from disconnected feeds.
FracSol FDI: Protecting More Than Wells
Having FracSol FDI at your side means more than protecting your offset wells, it means protecting something much bigger: the years of planning, capital, and future production tied to those wells.
With FracSol FDI, rather than just documenting risks after they happen, your team becomes able to proactively protect and help stop them in their tracks.
The result? Significantly greater confidence in your production forecasts, and stronger overall performance.
The threat of fracture-driven interactions often times is unseen but nevertheless is real. However, with the right tools in your hands, you can act in real time and see them coming and protect your offsets with clarity and confidence.
