All major well construction and completion services for the project have been provided by Halliburton.
Apache has selected Halliburton, because of its Buenos Aires-based Unconventional Reservoir Solutions Team’s expertise and understanding of the specific complexities of the Los Molles shale formation, placed 10 hydraulic fracture stages in the horizontal section at a depth of over 4,400m.
Halliburton Latin America Region vice president Roberto Munoz said the company’s ability to apply its expertise globally will assist operators to efficiently develop frontier unconventional reservoirs.
"Argentina’s shale gas potential will benefit greatly from the application of these technologies," Munoz said.
As global development of unconventional resources materialize, Halliburton is in the process of pre-positioning Unconventional Reservoir Solutions Teams around the world.
