This document contains confidential information about Shear FRAC Group, LLC. It discusses ShearFRAC's real-time intelligent fracturing technology, which provides second-by-second fracture measurements and active fracture guidance to optimize fracture surface area. The technology aims to improve completion effectiveness, increase production, access more hydrocarbons, and save money on water and pumping costs by providing a link between geology, drilling, and reservoir engineering through completions optimization. Recent research on hydraulic fracturing indicates that rejuvenating natural fractures and bedding planes dominates fractured surface area creation.

FracBRAIN® displays active well rock response, fracture surface area, and FDI visualization
FracBRAIN® is a completions manufacturing visualization dashboard that measures how the formation is fracturing
each second and how the active well is interacting with offset wells, providing intelligent recommendations for
adjustments to increase fracture surface area and decrease FDI’s
Live stream fracture surface area measurements to the field which are used to make second-
by-second, real-time adjustments to improve completion effectiveness of each stage

Geology and Fracture Understanding
More Shear fracture created in a stage = more propped fracture surface area
• Rejuvenation of natural
fractures and bedding
planes dominate
