Frac Diagnostics

In the early 2000s, Pinnacle's consulting firm was principally focused on understanding brittle shale completions and then improving fracture placement. It was strongly linked to both Pinnacle's market-leading and innovative microseismic offering, and FRACPRO®, the industry's leading frac modeling software. In 2002, CARBO CERAMICS® purchased Pinnacle as a means of improving the use of conductivity in hydraulic fracturing. This business thrived using its sister company FRACPRO as the fracture modeling software. With the purchase of Pinnacle's microseismic business by Halliburton in 2008, STRATAGEN® was born and branded as a two-component consulting firm. One arm of STRATAGEN remains today focused on field execution. The expert office-based portion has thus spun-off to form Frac Diagnostics, LLC. Our Mission
