Broad experiences enable us to offer a comprehensive approach to unconventional reservoir development.

The defining aspect of unconventional reservoirs is that everything is more complex.

Exploitation requires the correct technology to optimize the development and production and minimize the cost.

Integrated geologic and engineering solutions reduce the risk and cost to optimize shale gas production.

Our model-centric approach offers a better understanding of your reservoir.

Schlumberger experts can accurately measure, quantify, and understand your reservoir characteristics.

State-of-the-art technology is used for assessment, simulation, and forecasting to validate production obligations.
