D-FRAC represents opportunities for new analyses in not only the petroleum industries but also in other markets using these chemicals.

Data You Can Actually Use

PIOT Upstream Group offers what no other source has: fracking chemical disclosure data that is actually usable because it is aggregated, cleaned and standardized for the entire United States. It can be searched, sorted and filtered in any way that your analysis requires.

D-FRAC is structured on a per well basis and includes the following data points:

Available Data

  • State and County
  • API
  • Fracture Date
  • Operator
  • Well Name
  • Latitude, Longitude
  • Production Type
  • True Vertical Depth (TVD)
  • Water Volume

And for each well, a list of components in the fracturing fluid:

  • Trade Name
  • Supplier
  • Purpose
  • Ingredient Name
  • CAS Number
  • Maximum Ingredient Concentration in Additive
  • Maximum Ingredient Concentration in HF Fluid
  • Comments

Data Quality

Obtaining the data is just the first step. We run the data through a process of cleaning and standardization that renders the data ready for use in your systems.

In fact, because our data cleaning process is the result of actual usage requirements, it has proven to be one of the greatest values of D-FRAC. Clean, standard data structuring means you can integrate the data into your own database systems with minimal effort.

Keeping It Fresh

Not only is new data is being added continuously from states that already require disclosure, more and more states are implementing their own disclosure regulations in the near future.

We offer several options for you to subscribe to these updates so that your analyses will always have the latest data available.
