Unconventional Resources

For effectively meeting unconventional challenges, unconventional wisdom is priceless.

Unconventional resources—shale gas and liquids, coalbed methane, tight gas, complex gas and heavy oil—are called "unconventionals" because in order to economically access and produce these hydrocarbons, unconventional methods and expertise are required.

Protecting the environment and meeting safety standards

Halliburton is an industry leader in meeting and exceeding global health, safety and environmental requirements. We embrace the responsibility of doing everything possible to help ensure that all of our technologies used in unconventional gas and oil development and production meet the highest environmental standards.

As the unconventional market encounters new challenges, Halliburton will continue to introduce new technologies and workflows to help customers quickly bring on line highly productive, reliable wells. Indeed, with our extensive network of basin-specific experts and in-region supply facilities and sources, we are able to leverage our experts from anywhere in the world.

Offering truly "unconventional wisdom" and advanced technologies, Halliburton experts are ready to solve your unconventional reservoir challenges

Interest in developing unconventional gas and oil has accelerated in recent years as conventional reservoirs have become increasingly difficult to find and produce. From an emerging resource 10 years ago—and a mostly overlooked resource 20 years ago—unconventional gas and oil are now a core business of many large independent producers and a growing number of major operating companies. For operators, Halliburton systematically evaluates each unique project, tapping into the people, global infrastructure, processes and partnerships it takes to help successfully and economically solve the challenges posed by extreme temperatures, pressures, depths and other "unconventional" conditions.
