Andrew McMurray is the CEO of Calgary based ShearFRAC. It's a revolutionary company that provides the missing link between completions, geology and reservoir engineering through their unique fracture diagnostic measurement technologies. Their live-streaming technology platform, FracBRAIN®,, displays second-by-second fracture measurements and active fracture guidance to visualize rock response and optimize fracture surface area stimulation operations during each completion stage. Full disclosure, I had to copy and paste some of the first paragraph from their website because I was completely of my depth in this conversation. But Andrew is an exceptional human being who is completely committed to his craft, and he conveyed to me the ins and outs of fracking. In this episode we dive into his path growing up in the Oilpatch, as his father was a Geologist. His school, where naturally we bonded with pride over his time at Acadia University, my alma mater. How Andrew cut his chops working in the field for the Energy Sector and plenty more. I always wondered what the big controversy was surrounding fracking, having only ever read mainly hit pieces presented from main stream media. We get right to it in this one. He also informs me of new technology his company has that is capable of predicting earthquakes, which apparently is happening all the time under our feet in Alberta. It's called the Richter Predictor. Great handle! I foresee great things for the company. Given the tariff situation currently going on between Canada and the United States, I feel its prudent to stay on the energy path currently, to inform and educate as many people as I can. I sure needed this information as well!! You will find this episode extremely informative as Andrew is a character who happens to also be highly talented, well-spoken, wildly intelligent and an all around good family man. Enjoy the yap!
