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.

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.
