Haynesville Operator Optimizes FR Concentration with Cost Commander to Reduce Pump Time and Lower Fuel Costs

To reduce pumping hours and fuel consumption, a Haynesville operator used Corva’s Cost Commander to evaluate the impact of friction reducer (FR) concentration on completions performance. By analyzing real-time chemical and cost data across 15 stages, the team identified increased pump time and fuel usage with the standard FR rate. Using Corva’s modeling tools, they justified a targeted FR increase that flattened the operational cost curve, improved stage consistency, and enhanced overall efficiency.

The operator reduced pump time, lowered fuel usage, and achieved an estimated $45,000 in savings per well. Corva’s platform enabled data-driven decisions that replaced guesswork with precision, aligning treatment design with economic performance and advancing completions strategy across the field.
