Multi-Box Chaos vs. Integrated Intelligence

Legacy Perforating

Systems

BlackFrac Next-Gen

Perforating Ecosystem

A New Perforating System Architecture

Built to simplify perforating, reduce operational risk, and deliver verified results in the field.

Consolidation

BlackBeard replaces fragmented, multi-box perforating setups with a single integrated command center.
By eliminating unnecessary hardware, cabling, and external laptops, wireline crews gain faster rig-up, fewer failure points, and a more reliable workflow on every job.

Automation

Manual checks and reactive troubleshooting introduce risk.
BlackBeard automates inventory, validation, and critical control steps to catch issues before going downhole; reducing human error and helping crews execute perforating jobs with greater consistency and confidence.

Open Platform Benefits

BlackBeard is built on an open platform designed to grow with your operation.
With native data export and SDK support, it integrates seamlessly with existing tools and analytics systems, providing flexibility today and protection against vendor lock-in tomorrow.
