From our partnered operators

 “Child well performed at 90%-95% of its nearest offset parent well, best child well so far.”  

Haynesville Operator, CEO

 “Infill drilling timing is critical. However, when timing cannot be controlled as desired, we found the fracture geometry control (FGC) approach helped protect both the parent and child wells. We proved to ourselves that FGC showed measurable improvement in production and pressure decline versus our previous child well iterations. Add with the secondary benefits of decreased pump times and parent/child well improvement, we are a big fan. Future applications for Sponte will continue for both child well and stand-alone parent well scenarios.”  

Haynesville Operator, VP of Operations

 “InDZone helped us mitigate fracture-driven interaction (FDI) using the frac geometry control (FGC) approach. Fiber optic strain analysis revealed 50% fewer frac hits, higher volume to first response (VFR), and a wider fracture corridor. FGC stages consistently produced more complex fractures. Tien was instrumental in planning, design, execution, and post-job review. Based on these results, the technology is currently used in on-going parent-child operations.” 

Haynesville Operator, Completions Manager 

 Tien at InDZone Consulting was instrumental in the success of a recent project in the DJ Basin. The engineering and subsurface teams were wrestling with a few technical challenges, and Tien was very creative and thoughtful in guiding the team in an effective solution. The first challenge was preventing vertical frac growth into a “wet” interval. The second challenge was preventing negative parent-child interaction in an infill situation. The planning, engineering, and execution went flawlessly. Although results are early, the projects appear to have been highly successful in achieving the desired outcome." 

DJ Basin Operator, EVP of Operations

 “I am glad we were able to connect with InDZone on our most recent project. The knowledge and expertise that Tien brought to the project helped us feel comfortable trying a different design that we would have otherwise missed out on. We would be glad to work with InDZone again on future projects.” 

Austin Chalk Operator, Engineering Manager

  “InDZone was brought into our planning process at a crucial point and was able to provide detailed technical analysis to aid in confirming some of our beliefs as well as introducing new ideas. Tien effectively guided the field team in successful implementation of the FGC plan and provided valuable suggestions during the job that led to better stages.”  

Austin Chalk Operator, Production Manager

 "We partnered with InDZone on a challenging Williston Basin infill project, where depletion and tight well spacing created significant risks. Tien brought a fresh perspective and worked closely with our team to optimize the completions designs. By leveraging frac geometry control (FGC) technology, we developed a unique pump schedule for each well’s own challenges, which we believe helped us unlock more value from each well. Although it’s still early, results are great with each well outperforming the offset type curve. InDZone’s technical expertise and collaborative approach has made a significant impact in our completion designs."  

Bakken Operator, Completions Manager

  Part 1: “Tien excels in communicating complex theory to a broad audience. Her expertise and engagement bridge the gap from academia to the field, creating a wholly unique and enjoyable environment. Tien plays a crucial role in addressing the complex challenges of faults and natural fractures as well as FDI with parent-child wells, leveraging FGC throughout the stages. I’ve also had the privilege of getting to know Tien outside of oilfield and am honored to know Tien the mother, and foodie-she is an astounding woman!”  

Haynesville Major Operator, Completions Manager

 Part 2: “It was an absolute job working with Tien on our recent projects! Watching the success of FDI mitigation happening real-time was so rewarding, especially given the operational challenges this particular pad had delivered. The wells are now online, setting a pad production record for our team. I couldn’t be happier with support and expertise Tien provides. The results speak for themselves and foster further collaborations with InDZone Consulting on future projects, not just in my business unit but across the company! 

Haynesville Major Operator, Completions Manager

 Part 1:"InDZone Consulting played a critical role in helping us optimize our completions design for our most recent pad. This area has some unique challenges in the basin including high water cuts and H2S in the adjacent formations. Therefore, we needed a design to help mitigate height growth due to the weak shale barriers. The design focused on maximizing the productive net pay by generating complex fractures within the near and mid-field. We are encouraged by the positive pressure trends seen during the fracs, which suggest our fractures are growing in length with controlled height. Tien’s expertise and direct involvement in the engineering design and execution support with our field team have been invaluable. We look forward to seeing the wells’ performance unfold!"   

Bakken Operator, Completions Manager

 Part 2: “Now that our wells are online, we are very pleased with their performance. They are delivering strong oil production, relatively high intake pressures, and the water cuts are on the low side for the field. Also, we are seeing zero H₂S production which is a major win for this area as it reduces the safety risk for our field team and improves overall well economics. We appreciate InDZone for their technically sound designs, exceptional operational support, and unwavering confidence in a successful outcome. These positive results give us the confidence to continue developing our acreage economically 

Bakken Operator, Completions Manager

  “Our recent studies indicated that the likely mechanism of H2S occurrence in Bakken producing wells is migration from stratigraphically adjacent sour formations through fracture networks created by out-of-zone well stimulation. InDZone provided our research team with guidance on completion computer stimulation to evaluate the factors that control horizontal and vertical fracture propagation. The results of simulation work will help to evaluate reservoir communication, optimize the completion design and reduce the risk of souring.”
