Automation and the Future of Shale Gas
Frank Whitsura, Vice President and General Manager
Refining in 1980
Disparate units
Immature control
Low throughput & yield
Current shale gas landscape looks very much the same.
How do I know?…
I Was There…

Shale Gas Operations – Presently
13,000 new wells per year (35 per day)
U.S. Natural Gas Production 2000: 1% 2013: 23% 2030: 49%
Multiple wells (hundreds) needed at 1–6 wells per km2
Flow – sustained rates 50–250 Mcf/d
Initial production very high but declines 80% in first 12 months
