Tight gas, coalbed 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.”
