SponsoredAs operators strive to increase production under tighter budgets, traditional downhole diagnostics are falling short—too costly, complex, and time-consuming. Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA) offers a smarter, surface-based alternative. This white paper explores how SAFA enables real-time treatment optimization, better fracture performance, and substantial cos…
