Benson Lamidi

Reservoir and Completions Engineer

[email protected]

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

Before joining ResFrac, Benson was a Mitacs Intern at Ovintiv Inc., where he honed his skills in developing in-house inter-well communication tools to optimize production performance in the Montney Formation. Benson holds a PhD in Geoscience from the University of Calgary and a Master of Science in Reservoir Evaluation and Management from Herriot-Watt University. He also holds a PhD in Petroleum Engineering and a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering from Saint-Petersburg State Mining University.

Benson’s research has focused on critical areas such as flowback data analysis, quantifying inter-well communications in unconventional wells, modeling complex fracture geometries, multiphase flow in gas condensate reservoirs, rate transient analysis, three-phase relative permeability, and data-driven production optimization in naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs. His work also included software development to support these advanced modeling techniques. He has collaborated with prominent industry players like Ovintiv Inc., TotalEnergies, CNRL, Gazprom, and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.

In his free time, Benson likes playing Chess and Draught and took part in the World Draught Championship in 2015 and 2016 in Russia

FracTest – An Online Tool for DFIT Interpretation

This week, we are releasing FracTest, a web-based application for interpretation of diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs). FracTest is available at resapps.resfrac.com, alongside our other two ResApps, StageOpt and IntTest. DFITs are small-volume fracture injection tests used to estimate stress, pore pressure, and permeability. These quantities form the foundation of the fracture and reservoir engineering work that we do in ResFrac, and so we view DFIT interpretation as one of the most important parts of our workflow.

Congratulations to Fervo on their IPO!

This week, I attended ResFrac customer Fervo Energy’s IPO on the Nasdaq. The positive energy was incredible. Roughly 100 people were there: Fervo employees, family, and members of the wider Fervo-supportive community. I was invited because ResFrac provides our software and services to Fervo, and also because I have been an advisor to the company since before its founding. As Jack reminded me this week, I introduced him and Tim! They founded Fervo around the same that ResFrac was being first released commercially, and they played an important role for our company because they were one of our earliest customers, and in turn, we were one of their first partners and vendors. Ever since then, ResFrac has been a core part of Fervo’s workflow in doing stimulation design and reservoir engineering.

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.
