RDS Unconventional

Project Experience

A proven track record of delivering measurable production increases from shale and unconventional reservoirs across the globe.

Track Record

Proven Results in Unconventional Reservoirs

RDS has successfully executed radial drilling programs in shale and unconventional formations across multiple continents, consistently delivering production increases that exceed operator expectations.

Neuquén Basin Operator

Argentina·Vaca Muerta Shale
+180% production increase

Multi-well program targeting the Vaca Muerta formation. RDS deployed 4 radial laterals per horizon across 6 wells, delivering an average 180% production increase per well.

24 laterals jetted

Permian Basin Operator

USA·Wolfcamp Shale
+140% production increase

Pilot program in the Wolfcamp A and B intervals. Radial laterals placed at 45° to maximize natural fracture intersection, resulting in significant uplift in oil and gas production.

16 laterals jetted

Sichuan Basin Operator

China·Longmaxi Shale
+95% production increase

Deep shale gas program in the Sichuan Basin. RDS technology adapted for high-pressure, high-temperature conditions, delivering consistent gas rate improvements.

12 laterals jetted

Baltic Basin Operator

Poland·Silurian Shale
+110% production increase

European shale pilot program demonstrating the applicability of radial drilling to Baltic shale formations with complex mineralogy and stress regimes.

8 laterals jetted

Eagle Ford Operator

USA·Eagle Ford Shale
+125% production increase

Liquids-rich Eagle Ford program targeting the oil and condensate windows. Multi-lateral placement optimized using RDS proprietary reservoir screening methodology.

20 laterals jetted

Jafurah Basin Operator

Saudi Arabia·Tuwaiq Mountain
+160% production increase

Unconventional gas program in Saudi Arabia's Jafurah Basin. RDS delivered a cost-effective alternative to hydraulic fracturing with superior production results.

18 laterals jetted
