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.

Advanced ‘proppant transport in the well’ capabilities are now implemented in ResFrac!

Proppant transport in the well is an intriguing topic that has attracted a lot of interest in recent years [1-8]. Proppant transport processes determine the uniformity of proppant placement, which has a direct impact on productivity. Cipolla et al. estimate that the difference between poor and excellent proppant uniformity is about $2.5M in net present value per well.

Digesting the Bonkers, Incredible, Off-the-Charts, Spectacular Results from the Fervo and FORGE Enhanced Geothermal Projects

I’m out of superlatives – I used them all up in the title. But seriously – Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) projects have had a really, really good summer. In this article, I summarize the results that have been recently presented by Fervo and FORGE. At their annual Tech Day and in a white paper posted this week (Norbeck et al., 2024), Fervo Energy provided their first update on Project Cape, a Utah project where they are developing 400 MWe of new production over the next two years. So far, fourteen wells have been drilled, and three of them have been stimulated.

What ‘company culture’ means to us

We recently held our annual company retreat. This is an important event because we are a fully remote company, and it gives us the chance to get together in-person and spend quality time. This year, we did the retreat in Houston, following URTeC and our annual symposium. We visited Space Center Houston, went to an Astros game, and ate BBQ and Tex-Mex. As a Houston native, I picked some of my favorite things to do in town! We also held a meeting on ‘company culture.’ I asked the group – how do you perceive our company culture? What do we do well, and what could we do better? Here are the highlights.
