It’s your data, your way – every time.

SmartPAD Key Capabilities

1

Advanced Data Analytics

SmartPAD turns complex operational data into clean, actionable insights. Automated reporting and advanced KPIs reduce data auditing from hours to minutes, giving teams more time to focus on operational decisions and optimization.

Powered by: Automated Reporting, Automated Stage Reporting (ASR), Calculated Channels, and Analytics (KPIs, Switch Times, Zipper KPIs).

2

Workflow Automation

SmartPAD automates the most time-consuming processes in completions. From pumping schedules and time-logs to stage reporting, tasks that once required manual entry are now executed automatically, reducing errors and freeing operators to focus on strategy.

Powered by: Automated Path Recognition (APR), Automated Stage Reporting (ASR), Data Automations (API, Kafka, Snowflake), and Automated Event Detection.

3

System Integration

SmartPAD consolidates all completions data into a single source of truth. It seamlessly distributes data across well management systems and visualization platforms, ensuring that every stakeholder and every system see the same reliable information.

Powered by: Seamless System Compatibility (WellView, OpenWells, Snowflake, Spotfire, Power BI, Corva), Seamless Collaboration and Integration, and Real-Time Data Integration.

4

Data Quality and Easy Access

With SmartPAD, data quality and usability are never in question. Through a multitude of data pipelines, SmartPAD delivers standardized, comprehensive datasets that anyone can access without complex coding, enabling faster and more confident decision-making.

Powered by: Superior Data Quality and Simplified Access, Real-Time Data Ingestion, and Comprehensive Data Collection.

5

Operational Oversight & Optimization

SmartPAD provides unmatched visibility into complex completions. Operators can track valve positions in real time, identify the true causes of delays, and directly compare stages across wells for deeper optimization.

Powered by: Stage Overlay, Waiting-to-Frac (WTF) Analytics, Operational Monitoring and Insight (FTM, FTH, dashboard), and Frac Tree Compatibility (Digital Twin + time-log).

6

Enhanced Safety & Risk Reduction

By integrating advanced sensors and digital twin technology, SmartPAD actively monitors operations for potential safety risks. Real-time alerts minimize incidents and reduce overall operational risk.

Powered by: Frac Tree Compatibility, Digital Twin technology, and Real-Time Safety Monitoring.

SmartPAD FAQ

Cold Bore consolidates all completions data and provides real-time access on SmartPAD, then streamlines this now single-source data across various platforms, including integration with well management systems and visualization platforms like Wellview, Openwells, Snowflake, PowerBI and more. This enables a unified view of the entire completion operation across multi-basin business units, facilitating more coordinated management of ongoing and future operations and business decisions.

With real-time at the source quality-controlled data, Cold Bore ensures that the operator receives accurate and reliable information, enabling better decision-making and reducing the risk of errors. This level of data integrity is critical for operational efficiency and strategic planning.

Through automated event detection creating operational time blocks and reducing the need for manual data entry, Cold Bore’s solutions save significant time and reduces human error. This automation allows well-site managers to focus more on safety and operational management rather than administrative tasks.

Cold Bore can provide accurate and timely data that is essential for environmental compliance, such as E Fleets, validation including precise monitoring of compressed natural gas versus fuel volumes. Additionally, we provide comprehensive environmental compliance monitoring with sound decibel monitoring and air quality regulatory compliance data. This ensures operators can meet regulatory requirements more effectively and with less effort, maintaining high environmental standards in their operations.

With all data consolidated and accessible in real-time, Cold Bore’s solutions can help bridge communication gaps between the operators’ various departments and business units. This fosters better collaboration and knowledge sharing, leading to more innovative and efficient practices.

As completions operations continue to expand, Cold Bore’s scalable solutions can adapt to increasing data demands and more complex operational setups. This support is crucial for maintaining efficiency and competitiveness in the dynamic energy sector. Cold Bore has the largest service provider integration in the industry.

Unlike competitors who charge extra for data storage, Cold Bore includes this service in the SmartPAD package with no hidden costs. We provide unlimited data storage, without any limitations on size or duration, ensuring that the Operator retains full ownership and continuous access to their data. Whether through API, websockets, or Snowflake, your data is available whenever and however you need it. Cold Bore ensures cost-effective data management while always prioritizing security and privacy.

Cold Bore’s data powers Remote Operating Centers (ROCs) with ultra-fast data transmission from site to cloud in under two seconds. This capability enables real-time, remote monitoring and management of operations. Cold Bore’s SmartPAD standardizes and organizes data in real-time, ensuring operational decisions are based on reliable, high-quality information. This allows the engineers to efficiently manage multiple sites remotely, enhancing both operational efficiency and safety

SmartPAD can ingest all existing data formats on any frac site, from any source, in any basin, with different service providers. The data output is organized and normalized in a consistent formatted Cold Bore standard and ready for consumption.

SmartPAD uses a complex data encryption algorithm to ensure your data is secure. Cold Bore Technology adheres to SOC 2 regulations, which means it manages your data based on the Trust Service Criteria of Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy.

SmartPAD platform creates a unique timeline called Critical Path based on events being detected by its proprietary and patented algorithm. The time blocks for each activity are automatically created, except the NPT time blocks, which are subjective by nature and need actual context.
