Converts mechanical energy into high-pressure hydraulic pulses deep in the wellbore to stimulate the reservoir with precision.
→ Enables energy-efficient, targeted fracturing with reduced fluid volume and surface horsepower.
Amplifies pressure pulses using controlled water hammer dynamics to create rectangular-shaped, high-amplitude waves.
→ Enhances fracture initiation and propagation, achieving greater reservoir penetration and fracture complexity.
Analyzes downhole pressure transients to characterize fracture geometry, complexity, and stimulation effectiveness in real time.
→ Transforms raw pressure data into actionable insights for adaptive, performance-driven fracturing strategies
The HydraSTIM Solution targets the $12B growing global hydraulic fracturing market, initially focusing on the North American shale refracturing segment, where over 58,000 horizontal wells underperform due to incomplete or inefficient initial stimulation.
Current methods rely heavily on surface horsepower, massive water volumes, and deliver diminishing returns—creating demand for smarter, lower-cost, and more environmentally responsible alternatives.
HydraSTIM offers operators a cost-effective restimulation strategy using existing wellbores. By delivering localized, downhole hydraulic pulses enhanced by water hammer effects, the system reduces fluid volumes, surface emissions, and horsepower requirements, while increasing fracture complexity and estimated ultimate recovery (EUR).
Beyond oil and gas, HydraSTIM has cross-sector potential in geothermal energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and critical mineral mining—industries where controlled stimulation of rock formations is vital. These adjacent markets are expected to grow rapidly as the energy transition accelerates.
