Case Study: a leading Eagle Ford shale operating company reduces hydraulic fracturing costs with SLB’s CAMShale service

Eagle Ford Operator Reduces Hydraulic Fracturing Costs by Approximately USD 2.7 Million per Month

SLB worked with a leading Eagle Ford Shale operating company that was struggling with frequent hydraulic fracturing equipment failures, causing significant nonproductive time and about USD 2.7 million in monthly losses. The customer needed a way to improve the reliability of fracturing equipment in a harsh completion environment.

SLB implemented the CAMShale fracturing fluid delivery and flowback service, including frac trees, manifolds, frac iron, and the FracServ enhanced valve-reliability program, with 24/7 field and shop support. The solution delivered a 100% valve integrity success rate across 189 frac stacks and 72 zipper manifolds, eliminated spills and HSE incidents, and reduced NPT by an average of USD 2.7 million per month.
