Oil & Gas Solutions
for Shale Liquids Production
Emerson Oil & Gas 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.

Constraints make it difficult for you to fully utilize
available measurement and control technologies — yet
you have to get beyond "it works and is good enough"
to effectively manage facilities. Emerson’s innovative
technology, industry experience, and breadth of
measurement and control solutions ensure a more
systematic approach to utilizing field-proven technology
in a cost effective manner to improve process unit
operations and reliability.

Data & Information Management
The variety and availability of facility management data
is dramatically increasing in quantity and complexity,
yet finding the expertise to filter and interpret data in a
timely manner is a challenge. Emerson's remote automation
architecture and capability to transfer information from the
field to the office provides you with the structure needed
to readily access critical information regarding field
equipment health, process unit diagnostics, optimization
opportunities and resource utilization.
Lifecycle Management
The continual loss of experienced people combined with
newer technology create gaps in capabilities to effectively
implement a complete asset management program.
The business and HSE risks associated with asset assurance
and sustainability is growing. Emerson's global presence
provides local support and collaborative engineering services
to augment your going asset management activities.
