Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs

PMG offers valuable services in the challenging area of engineering including various consulting and training services for CBM, shale gas, and tight sands. Because of the extreme tight nature of these reservoirs, new technology is necessary to endure that commercial production is realized. Our mandate in the area of engineering is to help our clients unlock the potential of Unconventional Reservoirs
