Built for the Way You Frac

Most operators run multi-vendor frac systems with partial automation and built-in inefficiencies. FS Independence is built for that reality, giving you the ability to run your preferred stack, keep your latch, and operate with your own crew while adding the automation needed to eliminate stage-to-stage gaps, improve safety, and enable continuous fracturing.

WHAT YOU GET

Fit-for-purpose control system designed to integrate your frac operation and eliminate gaps between stages.

FS INDEPENDENCE

Choose the Level
of Automation
That Fits Your Operation

Every operation has different priorities, timelines, and infrastructure requirements.

FS Independence and FS Completion System are built on the same foundation of continuous pumping technology, but they deliver different levels of automation, integration, and operational support. Use the comparison below to see how each solution aligns with your goals today—and where it can take you tomorrow.

Capability Conventional Operations FS Independence FS Completion System
Pumping Mode Stop / start pumping Continuous pumping Continuous fracturing
Stage Transitions Manual, time between stages Automated transitions while pumping Automated transitions while pumping
Automation Level Minimal Select automation Fully integrated automation
Crew Requirements High reliance on specialized crews Run with your crew or ours Downing Operator
Equipment Flexibility Multiple, non-integrated components Use your stack, latch, and vendors Fully integrated surface system
Red Zone Exposure High Reduced Minimal to eliminated
Operational Efficiency Limited Improved 24/7 fracturing
Path Forward No clear upgrade path Designed to scale from continuous pumping to continuous fracturing Full 24/7 fracturing capability
Operational Safety Deadhead and wireline cut risk Software lockouts minimize risk Software + mechanical lockouts eliminate risk.

WHY NOW

Operators want automation but are only getting digital actuation.

Digital controls are masquerading as automation. Operators want automated workflows to manage complex operations.

FS Independence brings automation, safety, and performance to your current operation, on your terms.
