PGNiG contracted Halliburton to fracture the Markowola-1 exploratory well near Kozienice, Lublin province, to determine if the site contained commercial gas deposits.
Halliburton Europe/West Africa region vice president Brady Murphy said that the company can use the experience it has gained and the technology it has developed for use in the unconventional gas plays in the US to support development of unconventional gas resources in this region.
“No two shales are alike. So, the unique challenges posed in each type of unconventional gas reservoir require innovative people and integrated solutions. Halliburton has a global network of people and solutions and we understand how to systematically evaluate each unique project by tapping into our global infrastructure, processes and partnerships.”
