Joe Frantz, President and CEO said, “Throughout my career and most recently while working in Schlumberger’s Data & Consulting Services (DCS) Segment, I participated in developing and implementing technology related to exploiting gas from shale reservoirs. The linked article below is a primer in shale evaluation, completion, and stimulation methods. It presents state of the art technology that is being applied across the USA and Canada. The article also reviews the historical aspects of shale developments since the late 1800’s. Suffice to say there will be many tcf’s produced from shale gas reservoirs over the next 50 years.

The key to successfully unlocking the enormous gas in place in most shale resource plays consists of using cost effective, high-technology data analysis and field procedures to maximize the contacted reservoir volume. Most shale gas resource plays can be exploited economically if one understands the basic storage, stimulation, and production mechanisms, combined with using the appropriate field procedures. Using our knowledge of shale gas reservoirs and procedures, Unbridled Energy will purchase and joint venture on shale resource plays in pursuit of maximizing shareholder value

We thank Schlumberger for permitting us to use this article on our website.”
