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.

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.
From precision measurement to asset management, Emerson's Flow Solutions reduce risk,
increase reliability, and improve operational performance with best-in-class technologies
