WELCOME!
This is the Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
This technical section encompasses the subject of hydraulic fracturing technology through online events, online networking, workshops, conferences, and by promoting diversity in the industry.
The purpose of this section shall be to provide a forum from which technical professionals and academia can:
  • Share knowledge, experience, and best practices
  • Identify major issues and technology areas on which to focus cooperation and discussions
  • Maintain and promote industry awareness of related issues and technologies
  • Enhance their own technical competencies that meet the needs of the petroleum industry
We will accomplish our mission through the transfer of knowledge at study groups, monthly meetings, forums, and workshops.

HyFTS April Monthly Webinar Coming Up

Please join us for our SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section Monthly Webinar!

HyFTS Webinar (April 7, 2026, 10:00 AM – 11:15 AM CST)

Keynote Speaker: Tyler Szilagyi, Sr.Technical Account Manager, ShearFRAC

Title: From Data to Decision: Real-Time Completion Optimization Using Surface Pressure Diagnostics.

Abstract:

This presentation explores the application of surface pressure diagnostics to monitor and adjust hydraulic fracturing treatments in real-time. By analyzing high-resolution pressure measurements, operators can gain immediate insight into subsurface responsiveness and the effectiveness of operations. We will discuss how this technology, validated against independent diagnostics such as microseismic monitoring (SPE-230631), enables a move away from static, pre-planned designs toward an adaptive approach that utilizes real-time data to improve completion efficiency and reduce operational risks.

Bio:  

Tyler Szilagyi is a Sr. Technical Account Manager at ShearFRAC, with a background in well completions and hydraulic fracturing. Throughout his career, he has held roles ranging from field operations to technical sales, supporting projects in over 20 countries. In his role at ShearFRAC, Tyler now focuses on providing real-time pressure diagnostic solutions that standardize workflows, reduce operational risk, and enhance well completion outcomes.
