The PROFrac system allows operators to see actual bottomhole pressure during fracturing operations. Modeled assumptions of BHP from surface measurements have been determined to be highly inaccurate, reducing fracture design quality and increasing operational problems.

Implementing real-time true bottomhole pressure allows engineers and operators to:

• Improve frac designs by using actual BHP data from pre frac tests
• Improve well productivity and the reservoir's ultimate recovery by maximizing proppant injection.
• Lower costs of operations through reducing risk of screen outs and sanding in of the well.
