ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,546,215, issued on Feb. 10.

"Fracking efficiency evaluation system and method(s) of use" was invented by Wen Wang (Houston), Joseph Mjehovich (Denver) and Ge Jin (Houston).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An improved fracking efficiency evaluation system and method of the system can be implemented to generate a completion design plan based on quantitative analysis of fracture geometries including observed and unobserved fractures in a treatment well. One or more metrics based on a statistical distribution of fracture geometries of an entire treatment well including each stage can be used to generate a completion design plan for optimizing p...
