Welcome to our dedicated page on hydrocarbon production, specifically focusing on shale gas. At Solartron ISA, we have been at the forefront of flow metering development and technology since the early 1990s. Our Dualstream Mulitiphase Flow Meter technology has become a staple for most major global operators seeking reliable multiphase wet gas flow metering solutions.
Challenges of Shale Production in the USA
Shale production faces several challenges that Solartron ISA can address with the Dualstream technology. One of the primary issues is the geological limits, as many US shale fields are maturing, and the so-called "sweet spots" are dwindling, making it more difficult to achieve production gains without significant technological breakthroughs. Additionally, the industry has shifted its focus from aggressive expansion to efficiency and capital discipline, prioritizing productivity improvements over drilling more wells. This shift has led to a consolidation of smaller exploration companies by larger oil giants, further changing the landscape of shale production. Moreover, the existing infrastructure for producing and transporting conventional natural gas is not always optimized for the unique compositional makeup of shale gas, posing further challenges.
Dualstream for Shale Gas - The Smart Solution for Shale Multiphase Metering Applications
Building on our extensive experience, engineering expertise, and commitment to quality, we have technically adjusted the Dualstream specifically for shale gas measurement requirements. Recognizing the industry's desired shift away from larger, complex well pad sites with high CAPEX and OPEX equipment and high emissions, we introduce the Dualstream FALCON.
