HAL: First Horizontal Drilled Well in Argentina -- Not a Bakken Story

Link here.

Using technology developed in the Bakken.
Oilfield services firm Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) has completed South America’s first-ever horizontal, multistage hydraulic fracture shale gas well in Argentina’s Neuquen Basin for US independent Apache Corporation.
Drilled horizontally at a depth of more than 4,400 meters, the Neuquen Basin well targets the Molles Shale formation. Halliburton placed 10 hydraulic fracture stages in the horizontal section of the shale gas well.

The oilfield services firm has extensive experience in the unconventional shale plays in North America. Halliburton is currently positioning experienced unconventional reservoir solutions teams around the world as shale gas and unconventional resources emerge globally.
