The Momentum Story
Months to Milliseconds
We're building the intelligence layer for hydraulic fracturing — compressing the feedback loop from months of manual analysis to real-time, AI-powered decisions.
Our Origin
Born from a Blind Spot in Completions
The completions industry generates enormous volumes of pressure data — but most of it goes unanalyzed. Traditional transducers sample once per second at ±15 PSI accuracy. Between those readings, thousands of pressure events go completely undetected.
Momentum AI was founded on a simple insight: the data to make better completions decisions already exists — it just needs to be captured at the right resolution and analyzed in real-time.
We built a proprietary sensor platform that captures 40,000 samples per second at 0.002 PSI accuracy — then paired it with AI trained on thousands of real frac stages. The result is a system that sees what traditional tools miss and responds before damage occurs.
The Challenge
Tier 1 Is Depleting. The Game Has Changed.
As operators move into Tier 2 and Tier 3 acreage, the margin for error shrinks dramatically. The same frac hit that a Tier 1 well absorbs can break the economics of a Tier 2 well.
Productivity Plateau
Average Permian well productivity, normalized for lateral length, has largely plateaued. The era of easy gains from better rock is over.
Tighter Economics
Tier 2 and Tier 3 well economics are far more sensitive to variability. Any production loss from interference hits returns harder.
Reactive, Not Real-Time
Traditional approaches discover interference after the fact — through production declines or post-job analysis weeks later. By then, the damage is done.
Our Approach
What Makes Momentum Different
We don't just measure pressure — we've built the hardware, the AI, and the software to turn completions data into decisions.
Proprietary Sensor Hardware
Our non-intrusive, surface-mounted sensors capture 40,000 samples per second across the 0.1–20,000 Hz frequency range — revealing acoustic and pressure events invisible to traditional gauges.
AI Built on Real Completions Data
Our models are trained on thousands of real frac stages, not lab simulations. They detect fracture initiation, classify interference severity, and identify equipment issues in real-time.
Full-Stack Platform
Six integrated products covering real-time FDI detection, historical analysis, frac design validation, dart tracking, geovisualization, and screenout prediction — all sharing a common data backbone.
Non-Intrusive Deployment
No well intervention, no downhole equipment, no disruption to operations. Install on the treatment line and start capturing intelligence immediately.

The Platform
Six Products, One Intelligence Layer
Every product shares the same high-resolution data foundation — so FDI events, frac performance, dart positions, geological context, and screenout prediction all live in one place.
FDai
Detects frac-driven interference in real-time and alerts your team before pressure damage occurs — protecting offset wells during every completion.
FDai Insight
Compresses 1,400 days of manual FDI labeling into 2, revealing which well spacings and designs drive the best outcomes across hundreds of projects.
FracScore
Validates every frac stage in real-time — instant feedback on cluster performance, screenout risk, and design efficiency as you pump.
BullsEye
Tracks darts in real-time using acoustic and pressure signatures, eliminating wireline confirmation runs and cutting NPT on every well.
StrataLink
Maps rock properties against completion performance and FDI risk, showing where stages will be difficult before you start pumping.
ScreenOut
Predicts screenouts before they happen using a machine learning model trained on thousands of labeled events from high-resolution pressure data.
Vision
The Path to Closed-Loop Completions
Our technology roadmap follows a clear progression toward fully autonomous completions optimization.
Feedback Loop Compression
Compress months of manual analysis into live detection. Identify fracture events, interference, and equipment issues as they happen.
Real-Time Detection & Response
AI-powered detection systems that not only identify events but recommend optimal responses based on historical patterns and geology.
Closed-Loop Control
Automated completions optimization where AI systems adjust parameters in real-time based on continuous pressure feedback.
