Technical Services

Data-driven engineering support, laboratory testing, and field-focused technical solutions for every stage of your well’s life.

Franklin Well Services partners with operators to design, validate, and troubleshoot treatment programs from concept through execution. Our technical team combines laboratory testing, field experience, and real-world performance data so you can  make better decisions, faster.

Franklin Well Services also benefits from a unique technical partnership with Purdue University, supported by significant investment in advanced laboratory infrastructure for complex and non-standard projects. This collaboration gives our team access to high-precision analytical tools, controlled testing environments, and additional engineering expertise for solving difficult field challenges.

From fluid compatibility studies and chemical performance evaluations to specialized diagnostics and technical investigations, the combined resources of FWS and Purdue enable us to tackle problems that demand deeper scientific rigor and validated data. This enhanced capability strengthens every stage of our work, helping operators make informed decisions and ensuring treatment designs are backed by reliable, repeatable testing.

What We Do

Our technical services group supports Franklin Well Services’ field operations with focused engineering and laboratory capabilities. We help operators select and optimize treatments tailored to reservoir conditions, water chemistry, and operational constraints.

  • Application-specific fluid and chemical program design
  • Compatibility and performance testing under realistic conditions
  • Pre-job engineering, modeling, and risk assessment
  • Onsite technical support and job monitoring
  • Post-job evaluation and performance review

Technical Focus Areas

  • Cementing and zonal isolation
  • Stimulation, scale and corrosion control
  • Production chemistry and flow assurance
  • Water sourcing and treatment programs
  • Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and conformance

Technical & Laboratory Capabilities

Integrated lab testing and field experience to reduce risk and improve performance.

Fluid & Slurry Design

Design and optimization of cement slurries, stimulation fluids, and production chemicals tailored to field conditions and operational goals.

  • Density and rheology optimization
  • Thickening time and compressive strength
  • Additive selection and loading windows

Compatibility Testing

Evaluation of fluid–fluid and fluid–formation compatibility to reduce risk of damage, scale, or precipitation.

  • Mixing and bottle tests
  • Brine and crude oil compatibility
  • Scale and solids risk screening

Laboratory Diagnostics

Bench-scale testing to diagnose operational issues and evaluate corrective actions before full-field deployment.

  • Scale and corrosion tendency testing
  • Filterability and solids analysis
  • Core or rock interaction studies (where applicable)

Onsite Technical Support

Field-based technical specialists to support critical jobs and help align field execution with engineered treatment designs.

  • Pre-job reviews and on-location coordination
  • Real-time monitoring and adjustments
  • Post-job data collection and reporting

Data Analysis & Reporting

Clear, actionable reporting to connect lab data, field observations, and production results.

  • Treatment summaries and job reports
  • Trend analysis across wells and campaigns
  • Recommendations for follow-up and optimization

Training & Collaboration

Collaborative reviews and training sessions to align your team with best practices and evolving field learnings.

  • Pre-job and post-job technical reviews
  • Operator and field staff training sessions
  • Joint development of field-specific guidelines

How We Work With You

Every field is different. We engage early to understand your constraints, design practical solutions, and remain involved through execution and review.

Whether you are planning a single critical job or a multi-well campaign, our technical team can scale support to match your needs.

1. Define Objectives

Clarify reservoir conditions, operational constraints, performance targets, and risk tolerance.

2. Design & Test

Develop candidate treatments and validate performance through lab and bench-scale testing.

3. Execute & Monitor

Support field execution, monitor key parameters, and adjust as needed to stay aligned with the design.

4. Review & Optimize

Analyze results, capture lessons learned, and refine programs for future wells or campaigns.
