Edge Computing transforms excess power gen capacity into revenue for O&G Operators!
Zero Cost, Zero Risk, All Profit
Flexible Edge Compute Deployment
Deploy on site, adaptive edge compute that automatically scales with available power gen capacity. Our system flexes in real time to capture unused megawatts and convert them into high-value compute workloads without changing frac operations.
Excess Power Monetization
Turn Idle power gen megawatts into revenue instantly. Comp-U-Frac captures power that would normally be wasted between stages or during low-pressure sections and converts it into compute that pays the operator instead of costing them.
On Site AI & Edge Analytics
Process frac-site data in real time with on location compute. Enable workloads like predictive valve failures, real-time frac modeling, sand flow analytics, camera inference, chemical optimization, and safety monitoring without sending data off-site.

About Comp-U-Frac
For years, our team has been designing and optimizing electric frac locations across the country. In that time, we uncovered a consistent pattern: electric frac sites almost always produce excess energy. Whether it’s the natural fluctuation of turbine output, lower-pressure stages, or idle time between stages, valuable megawatts are routinely left unused—and locations operate far less efficiently than they could.
At the same time, the world has entered the AI and high-performance computing boom, driving unprecedented demand for electricity. Power is becoming scarce, expensive, and increasingly difficult to secure. Traditional data centers are competing for grid access, frac fleets are competing for turbine hours, and every sector is searching for more efficient ways to utilize energy.
Comp-U-Frac was built at the intersection of these two realities.
We recognized that electric frac locations already have massive, natural gas off-grid power plants sitting on-site every single day. So, we developed a solution to merge the energy needs of the modern high performance compute world with the operational realities of hydraulic fracturing.
Our patent-pending Flex-Compute process captures this excess turbine capacity in real time, dynamically scaling computing power up or down as megawatts become available—without ever interfering with frac operations. This transforms an ordinary frac location into a high-efficiency edge-compute hub, generating new revenue, reducing waste, and increasing overall site efficiency.
Today, Comp-U-Frac enables operators & OFS companies to:
• Monetize unused power instantly
• Support AI, HPC, and inference workloads at the edge
• Reduce emissions and environmental waste
• Improve frac-site efficiency with zero operational risk
We believe the future of energy and compute is distributed, flexible, and built around the real-world rhythms of industrial power generation. Comp-U-Frac is the first company to connect these worlds—and unlock the value that was already there.

Emissions Reduction
Stabilizing turbine load reduces methane slip, CO2 intensity, and total greenhouse gas emissions per megawatt used without changing fuel source or equipment.
Operational Load Optimization = Lower Emissions Per MW
Natural gas turbines are optimized to run at steady, higher loads
At lower or fluctuating loads, combustion temperature and residence time drop
This leads to:
Higher methane slip / unburned hydrocarbons
Higher CO2 per MWh due to reduced thermal efficiency
Increased during ramping and transient operation
Comp-U-Frac turns unused power into stable load
Electric Frac sites typically oversize generation for peak pumping demand
Between stages and during operational variability, turbines operate below optimal load
Comp-U-Frac absorbs that unused capacity with flexible compute
Results:
Higher average turbine load
Fewer load swings
Improved combustion efficiency
Comp-U-Frac transforms excess turbine capacity into real, measurable emissions reduction per megawatt.
