Frac Diagnostics, LLC is an expert-based data analysis and stimulation optimization consulting firm based in Houston, Texas that has secured a global reach. Our focus is improving the stimulation process to economically exploit reservoir capabilities. Our analysis has enabled field development to be realized and broad-based economics to be employed to better suit the capacity of the reservoir. Frac Diagnostics, LLC is the heritage firm created from the transition of Pinnacle Technologies’ consulting firm, created in September of 1992 to StrataGen, Inc. based under Carbo Ceramics and finally to Frac Diagnostics, LLC. In the early 2000’s, 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.
