What is the Frac Job Count (FJC)?
The Frac Job Count (FJC) is the number of hydraulic fracturing jobs completed in the United States over a given period. Primary Vision publishes it weekly. One job is one well on one pad.

What is a frac job?
A frac job is the hydraulic fracturing treatment performed on a well: fluid, sand, and chemicals are pumped under high pressure to fracture the reservoir rock and let oil or gas flow. Each frac job is part of a well completion. A pad often holds more than one well, so a single pad can account for several jobs.
How the Frac Job Count is counted
What does the Frac Job Count measure?
It captures the volume of work being completed, which adds a layer beyond a count of active crews.
Frac Job Count vs. Frac Spread Count
The FJC counts completion jobs performed. The Frac Spread Count (FSC) counts active frac crews. Together they show both how many crews are working and how much work they are finishing. See the full comparison, including rig count: Frac Spread Count vs. Rig Count vs. Frac Job Count .
The Frac Efficiency Index
Primary Vision's Frac Efficiency Index (FEI) is the Frac Job Count divided by the Frac Spread Count, or jobs per active spread. A higher FEI means each crew is completing more jobs.
Who uses the Frac Job Count?
It helps quantify how quickly wells are being completed and brought toward production.
Which basins does the Frac Job Count cover?
All updated weekly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Frac Job Count?
The Frac Job Count (FJC) is the number of hydraulic fracturing jobs completed in the United States over a given period. Primary Vision publishes it weekly. One job is one well on one pad.
What is a frac job?
A frac job is the hydraulic fracturing treatment performed on a well: fluid, sand, and chemicals are pumped under high pressure to fracture the reservoir rock and let oil or gas flow. Each frac job is part of a well completion.
How is a frac job counted?
In Primary Vision's data, one job is one well on one pad. A pad often holds more than one well, so a single pad can account for several jobs.
Who publishes the Frac Job Count?
Primary Vision, an energy data and intelligence company based in Sheridan, Wyoming, publishes the Frac Job Count.
How often is the Frac Job Count updated?
Primary Vision updates it every week.
How is the Frac Job Count different from the Frac Spread Count?
The Frac Job Count counts completed jobs, where one job is one well on one pad. The Frac Spread Count counts active frac crews. One measures the work finished, the other measures the crews doing it.
What is the Frac Efficiency Index?
The Frac Efficiency Index (FEI) is Primary Vision's measure of completion efficiency, calculated as the Frac Job Count divided by the Frac Spread Count, or jobs per active spread.
