The industry needs an innovative method to quickly analyze the balance of water in work tanks during a frac job. Some sites have volume stored a distance away with one or more pumps working to keep up with the volume. While a worker is walking the top of tanks and taking manual measurement recorded on a log, the operators in the frac van are studying an array of instruments and data. These actions need to be intertwined in a real-time automated process.
Frac TRAC brings together wireless technology, wireless measuring devices, and an easy to understand display in the frac van. Real-time, accurate volumes provides information to prevent blenders from sucking air, under flushing well bores due to water supply issues, and unnecessary radio traffic communicating water availability issues. Frac TRAC provides information needed to eliminate the associated cost of excess work tank storage on location.
