Unconventional/complex reservoirs
Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.
The deal adds physics-based reservoir modeling and real-time decision workflows to SLB’s digital portfolio.
Weatherford CEO Girish K. Saligram said the acquisition will bolster Weatherford’s completions offerings and unconventional reservoir capabilities.
