Oil & Gas Flow Solutions

for Shale Liquids Production

Emerson Oil & Gas Flow Solutions for Shale Liquids Production

There are many challenges in reaching these unconventional

reserves including advanced technology, high costs, and
environmental concerns.
Reuters

The complexity of the liquids-rich shale assets present significant challenges throughout
all stages of field development—well planning and construction, facilities deployment,
and operations. The rapid development and deployment of well pad facilities, accelerated
production decline, and an evolving regulatory environment leaves little margin for error.
To achieve and sustain economically-viable production requires effectively leveraging
technology to accelerate the shale learning curve.

The growing role of unconventional oils will make the Western hemisphere
the new center of gravity of oil exploration and production.
