Schlumberger declared the release of the Mangrove reservoir-centric stimulation design software that enables better decision making for well completion and fracturing programs. Developed on the Petrel E&P software platform, Mangrove users can access the shared earth model to facilitate program designs for all types of reservoirs.

"Economic development of unconventional reservoirs has been a challenge with a purely geometrical approach to staging design and perforation placement, and an empirical fracture treatment design," said Salvador Ayala, vice president, Stimulation, Schlumberger Well Services. "With Mangrove software, customers can be confident in a scientific approach that uses all available data in the shared earth model to enable the most productive parts of the reservoir to be optimally completed."
