Jiacheng Wang is a Senior Simulation Engineer at ResFrac.

Before joining ResFrac, Jiacheng was a Senior Computational Software Engineer at SLB, specializing in physics-based and data-driven hybrid modeling for dynamic wireline conveyance processes. He holds a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin.

His research expertise includes physics-based and data-driven modeling of hydraulic fracturing, natural-hydraulic fracture interaction, proppant transport, and geomechanics. Jiacheng has authored academic papers on topics such as complex multi-cluster hydraulic fracture propagation, proppant transport dynamics, multivariate optimization of completion designs, and the application of physics-informed neural networks.

In his free time, Jiacheng enjoys playing video games, sim racing, high-performance racetrack driving, and photography.

The influence of well configuration on water loss in Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Recently, ‘water loss’ has been a hot topic of discussion for EGS. Fervo reported that they have been producing only 70% of the fluid volumes that they have been injecting at their Project Red. The FORGE project reported a roughly 10% water loss rate. Because projects will have finite water rights, these results have led to concern that growth of EGS will be limited by excessive water consumption. This is a valid concern, and water availability is a legitimate factor in site-selection and project engineering. However, I believe that the problem has been overstated.

2026 ResFrac Annual Symposium Recap

On June 25, 2026, we got the ResFrac community together both in-person at the ExxonMobil campus in Spring, Texas, and virtually around the globe for our Annual Symposium. With our community growing as fast as it is, the energy in the room was absolutely buzzing. We had a jam-packed day of operator case studies, deep-dive technical sessions, and some incredible geomechanical insights from industry legends.

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.
