Tristen Lawrence

Operations Manager

[email protected]

As Operations Manager at ResFrac, Tristen keeps the back office running smoothly, ensuring efficient processes, seamless customer experiences, and well-executed outreach efforts.

Prior to joining ResFrac, Tristen worked in brand management and business operations for a small marketing firm in Central CA, where she refined her skills in branding, marketing, and business management. This experience sparked a deep appreciation for user research and the importance of intuitive, user-centered design to drive business success and measurable impact for clients. In addition to her operational expertise, Tristen is a UX/UI designer and WordPress site builder, always on the lookout for ways to enhance digital experiences.

Outside of work for ResFrac, Tristen is mom to four rowdy kids and spends her evenings and weekends balancing family chaos and many hobbies. She makes it a practice to try to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic at least twice a week, volunteers with the local aquarium’s stranding response team to rescue and rehabilitate sea turtles, and enjoys sailing, live music, and great food. Tristen’s fuel is coffee and memes, and brings energy, humor and a bit of nonsense to everything she takes on.

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.
