Our Purpose

We accelerate well efficiency and performance through the power of simulation.

By integrating physics-based, operational, and financial models, PrePad turns complexity into clarity and helps operators capture value that would otherwise be lost.

Every year, hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in developing unconventional wells to meet the world’s energy demand. Delivering these wells requires coordination across contracts, engineering, supply chain, reservoir, and production. The effort of these teams sustains the world’s access to affordable energy and the progress it enables.
 
But complexity creates inefficiency. Reservoir variability, shifting type curves, volatile energy prices, contract pressures, and the pace of innovation all make it difficult to know which choices truly optimize cost and performance. From investors to management to the teams delivering wells, the “what if” questions are endless, and without clear, timely answers, costs rise quickly and value is left behind.
 
One of the biggest levers in this equation is the cost of completions. Too often, it is treated as a single line item when in reality it is deeply intertwined with drilling decisions, production outcomes, and overall well performance. Because of the complexity, this interdependence is rarely captured, and as a result a considerable amount of value goes unrealized. PrePad bridges this gap. We believe that with hybrid simulation, integrating physics-based, operational, and financial models, operators can clearly see how completions decisions ripple across the entire system of delivering wells.
 
We believe that delivering energy at the efficient frontier of the decision space is best for humanity. The efficient frontier recognizes that paying more does not always yield more production, just as cutting cost does not always mean losing performance. It is about finding the balance where every dollar spent drives the maximum possible return in production. Optimum cost means operating in this space, where trade-offs are visible, risks are clear, and operators can act with confidence.
 
By turning complexity into clarity through hybrid simulation, PrePad helps teams see the trade-offs, accelerate decisions, and deliver wells that are efficient, effective, and aligned with the world’s growing energy needs.
