Two practice lines, one standard: verified work you can defend in the room where the money gets approved. Fifteen years in completions, from the design desk to the spread.
The completion is 60-70% of an $8M well’s cost, and every opinion in the room is compromised: service companies sell chemicals and horsepower, and the data platforms sell a firehose and leave the interpretation to you. We sell the answer, built from verified public data and delivered as a written, data-verified opinion you can put in front of partners, boards, and banks.
| What | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Converse County sample benchmark report | Free |
| 2. | Rapid benchmark: one county, one question, 2-week turnaround | $5-8K |
| 3. | Quarterly basin benchmark subscription: refresh + data review calls | $20-30K/yr |
| 4. | Program benchmarking review: your designs against the audited basin dataset | $45K+ |
The verification methodology ports to any county in any basin, from the DJ to the Williston to the Permian, on a two-week build. Not a subscription platform, not day-rate hours, not a dashboard. And never a vendor: no referral fees, no sponsorships, ever.
Verified today: the complete design layer: 314 disclosed jobs in Converse County alone, built from the live FracFocus portal and validated against official per-well disclosure PDFs, spot-checked to the pound. Operator activity, design trajectories, proppant/fluid intensity, bench-by-bench splits, water sourcing.
In build: state-filed well-level production (WOGCC Form 2) linked to designs, plus directional-survey and Form 3 completion-report detail, turning “what everyone designs” into pounds-per-foot and “what actually worked,” with confidence levels stated plainly. Charter subscribers get it first.
Built for independent operators whose completions engineer wears five hats, new basin entrants who need the design landscape on day one, and PE firms and banks doing technical diligence.

Every disclosed frac job in the county since 2023, verified against primary disclosures and joined well-by-well to production. The headline: the median job grew from 20.2M to 38.1M lbs of proppant in three years (+89%), and it holds at +86% within the Niobrara bench alone, so it is design behavior, not bench mix. A 2023-template design now sits below the county median before you ever pick up a blender.
What the sample study shows, in plain numbers:
Every figure is auditable to its source row. The companion workbook ships with client engagements.
The spread is the most expensive classroom in the oilfield. One avoided non-productive day on a frac spread covers weeks of supervision. One avoided incident is priceless. River & Rocks puts fifteen years of completions execution on your location.
Contract clients: Enerplus, 2018-2024 · Missouri River Resources, 2024-25 · Bakken, Powder River, DJ, Uinta, and Permian programs · continuous contract supervision since 2018.
Built for operators running completions programs who need proven leadership on location: full-program supervision, frac-to-frac coverage, or execution support when your team is stretched.

Public data is free. Trustworthy public data is labor. Our datasets are built from primary disclosures, validated against official per-well records, and delivered with the joins and caveats stated openly, so nothing we publish requires taking our word for anything.
River & Rocks LLC is the independent practice of Luke Trivisonno, completions engineer by training, company man by trade, based in Bozeman, Montana. Fifteen years designing and supervising completions across the Bakken, Powder River, DJ, Uinta, Permian, and Marcellus basins: seven years as a completions consultant on operator programs, then continuous contract supervision and consulting since 2018 for Enerplus and Missouri River Resources.
WVU petroleum engineering and economics. EIT. Programs totaling $300MM+ supervised without a lost-time incident. The benchmarking practice exists because the analysis that used to take a data team now takes a dataset, and because the only opinion in the room without something to sell you is the independent one.
For benchmarking: start with the free sample, check the numbers against your own sources, and a twenty-minute call will tell you what your county looks like. For supervision: tell us the basin, the spread, and the dates.
