For Industry Review | DACC IRP Volume #24 - Fracture Stimulation
September 22, 2025
The purpose of this IRP is to provide industry supported guidelines to manage subject well integrity, interwellbore communication and surface operations during fracture stimulation operations. It may be used to support the development of internal procedures for safe fracture stimulation practices.
The document is structured around the Fracture Stimulation Hazard Management Process (FSHMP). The FSHMP is intended to offer a general, high level, iterative planning process typical to most fracture stimulation operations. It was developed collaboratively by a diverse group in the IRP 24 Committee and its working groups. Operator-specific and Service Provider-specific processes may diverge from the FSHMP presented.
The IRP 24 Hazard Register is a living document to be updated regularly by industry experts. As new hazard scenarios are experienced and new controls or mitigations are developed, these hazard scenarios may be documented in the IRP 24 Hazard Register for industry-wide use. The IRP 24 Committee invites organizations to share lessons learned and additions to the Hazard Register.
