24/7 Frac
True 24/7 Fracturing Starts Here.
Continuous Pumping + Zero Pump NPT = 24/7 fracturing. No Non-Productive Pumping. No Excuses. Just Fracturing.
The 3 Keys to
True 24/7
Fracturing
Downing’s Freedom Series solves the core operational challenges that hold back true continuous frac operations. Here’s how we deliver uninterrupted performance — safely, efficiently, and without compromise.
01
Safe, Red Zone–
Free Ops
Every component, from the Freedom Series Completion System to the FS Smart Latch, is built to eliminate the need for human pad entry. Crews stay protected. Efficiency stays high. Red Zone exposure is engineered out of the equation.
Crews stay protected. Efficiency stays high. Red Zone exposure is engineered out of the equation.
Safety isn’t optional. It’s built in.
02
Eliminate
Operational Risk
Unplanned shutdowns caused by equipment failure, human error, or safety concerns, cost money and increase liability.
The Freedom Series automates key functions to reduce variance and improve control, making every stage safer and more consistent.
Automation is your best insurance.
03
24/7 Fracturing — Built to Fracture Around the Clock
With FS Hot Swap and FS Completion System working in sync, the system is designed to run around the clock, stage after stage, with no shutdowns and near zero transition time between stages.
No shutdowns. No delays. Just fracturing.
Your 24/7 Fracturing System
FS Completion System
Enables continuous pumping and full-rate transitions.
The core of Downing’s automation-ready approach, the FS Completion System includes the FS Valve, FS Latch, FS Flowline and FS iControl — built to frac:
Eliminate days per frac job
Red zone–free operation
Transition valves at up to your full design rate – Proven.
FS Valve
Integrated Latch. Automated Fill, Drain, and Equalization. Eliminates Cut Wireline.
Freedom Gate Valve
Greaseless Gate Valve. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership. Increased Reliablity.
Built for Continuous Fracturing.
FS Smart Latch
More Reliable. Ideal for multi-wireline operations.
FS icontrol
Continuous Fracturing. Automated Greasing.
FS Independence Missile Pod (FSiP)
Eliminate pump-related NPT, reduce pump maintenance costs, and keep personnel out of the redzone. Solutions for both diesel and electric pumps.
FS INDEPENDENCE MISSILE POD & FS BLAST WALL
COMPACT PUMP ISOLATION. BUILT FOR MODERN FRAC OPERATIONS.
24/7 Fracturing
Minimize NPT and keep your frac running around the clock. With Downing’s Freedom Series, you eliminate non-productive time due to pump maintenance, human error, or equipment failure.
Isolate, repair, and bring back online your pump while continuing to frac.
Planned Maintenance reduces pump R&M and protects your crew safety.
Always frac the formation as designed by eliminating mid-stage shutdowns.
Seamless simulfracs, trifracs,
and quadfracs
Fast, Safe, Less Complex SimulFracs.
The same Freedom Series system that powers 24/7 fracturing also unlocks seamless SimulFrac (or Trifrac) performance, reducing red zone exposure, improving stage transition speed, keeping every well in view, and providing a reliable, repeatable process.
SimulFrac doesn’t have to mean complexity. With Freedom Series automation, operators can safely manage multiple wireline units, automate well transitions in real-time, and maintain full pad visibility, all without slowing down or increasing risk.
Downing’s integrated surface system eliminates manual steps and human error, helping you finish faster, safer, and with greater control.
