Reservoir and Completions Engineer

[email protected]

Aileen Zebrowski is a reservoir and completions engineer at ResFrac focusing on reservoir data analysis, improving workflows, and customer support.

Prior to joining ResFrac, Aileen completed a master’s thesis at the University of Utah, researching the evolution of surface and subsurface steam features at the Roosevelt Hot Springs hydrothermal system. Before that, she worked in consulting as an environmental engineer in Virginia and Wisconsin for several years, conducting environmental sampling and remediation, and served a term with the Maine Conservation Corps.

Aileen earned her Master of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Utah, with a tailored interest in geothermal energy. She also holds a Bachelor of Environmental Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota.

Aileen is a self-described adventurous homebody, and enjoys climbing, hiking, biking, skiing, and all-around general exploring while also enjoying the opportunity to stay home and read, play games, or strum the ukulele.

ResFrac, a Leader in Advancing the Future of Subsurface Simulation, Receives Platform Investment from Banneker Partners

Banneker Partners (“Banneker”) today announced a platform investment in ResFrac Corporation (“ResFrac”), the developer of the industry’s only fully integrated reservoir simulation and hydraulic fracturing platform. ResFrac uniquely couples reservoir simulation and hydraulic fracture modeling, enabling engineers to model a well’s entire life cycle, from the moment rock is fractured through years of production, in a single, continuous simulation. This precision allows energy operators to test thousands of design scenarios in a virtual environment, optimizing completion design and maximizing resource recovery while minimizing capital risk.

Interesting Papers from the 2026 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference (HFTC)

The 2026 HFTC included 50+ technical paper presentations, a special session highlighting papers from the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA), and a dynamic opening session featuring the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, and a diverse panel discussion with representatives from Chevron, Exxon, US Department of Energy, and Colorado School of Mines.

Production impact of horizontal fractures

At the 2025 SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference, we (Dontsov, Zoback, McClure, and Fowler) presented “Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Along Bedding Planes Might Be More Prevalent Than We Think” (SPE-226637). The paper reviewed case studies with evidence of horizontal or bedding plane fractures from microseismic, fiber optics, core observations, and casing deformation.
