More knowledge, less uncertainty
Identifying whether a given shale play has sufficient quality rock, and where likely sweet spots are located, requires a detailed understanding and interpretation of available geological, geophysical, geochemical, and engineering data, from core to seismic. Our knowledge and expertise in shale reservoir evaluation and interpretation, leads to a more complete understanding of the shale play; which in turn leads to more informed decisions, less uncertainty and greater economic success, helping you to produce more with less.
Seismic interpretation and improved reservoir characterization
Seismic analysis identifies reservoir and completion quality attributes, structural complexity, and dominant characteristics. It also helps to recognize analogous shale play systems. Fault and stress analysis and orientation can also be obtained for a regional-scale interpretation of reservoir and completion quality.
Quantify source rock maturity and hydrocarbons in place
Petroleum systems modeling assesses exploration risk before drilling, combining your seismic information, well data, and geological knowledge to help you understand the evolution of a sedimentary basin. Petroleum system modeling sheds light on the source and timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration routes, gas in place, maturation, and hydrocarbon type.

Well data analysis and interpretation
Adequate acquisition and interpretation of well data contributes to a better understanding of reservoir and completion quality to help you select the best well location and planned horizontal well path. Sufficient data acquisition and analysis is essential for continuous improvement.
Modeling, fracture analysis and software for shale plays
As the volume of your acquired data grows, making smarter decisions is enabled by selecting the right software tools that facilitate integration, innovation and understanding, from petrophysics to geology and geophysics.
As your understanding of the shale play expands, each successive well begins to hold fewer surprises, and more sustainable and reliable results.

Directional Drilling
Trajectory Control in Directional Drilling
Directional drilling is the science of deviating a wellbore along a planned path to a target located a given lateral distance and direction from vertical. This includes drilling as vertically as possible from a given TVD.
Our expert directional drillers and proven technologies provide the trajectory control needed to drill the well correctly, the high-quality hole required to successfully run and cement casing, and the precise well placement to optimize production and maximize recovery. Our LWD and MWD services provide high-quality data to enable time-critical decisions for accurate drilling of extended-reach, horizontal, vertical, and complex directional wells and sidetracks.
Through the merger with Smith Services, PathFinder has joined Schlumberger and is now the Schlumberger directional drilling service provider in high-volume environments, such as North America land-based operations. PathFinder has access to the full resources of Schlumberger and employs fit-for-purpose technologies, including the PowerDrive rotary steerable systems, Neyrfor Turbodrills, and PathFinder mud motors.
PowerDrive Rotary Steerables
Fully rotational steerable systems for highly accurate directional drilling.
Drilling Mud Motors
