Oilfield services company Schlumberger has introduced a trio of hydraulic fracturing systems to help operate advanced drilling assets and reduce the number of people required to drill and complete their wells. The new systems, which are designed for use in horizontal wells, will be used on some of the most challenging oil fields in North America including those found off the coast of Alaska and Texas. Known as "an automated delivery system", each of the product's processes are commercially available after spending a year in the field as prototypes.
