Description (excerpt):

Tight gas, coal bed methane, and shale gas are tough plays—no doubt about it. But focused expertise and technologies from Schlumberger are helping transform these unconventional gas reservoirs into economically successful ventures for companies across the United States. Our leading approach combines improved reservoir knowledge, new drilling methods, and targeted completion technologies. Southwestern Energy Company chose Schlumberger to provide evaluation, testing, and completion expertise for its shale reservoirs in Arkansas. “We knew it was critical to collect and understand the shale data to effectively and economically evaluate and develop the Fayetteville Shale,” said Senior Vice President John Thaeler. “We teamed with Schlumberger because we knew they had considerable experience in shale plays plus the staff, services, and systems in place to assist us.” The bottom line is: ready expertise and a technological edge mean better economics for you.
