Well Tending
Well tending is the heartbeat of ShalePro's operations and maintenance. ShalePro operates over 2,000 wells across the Appalachian Basin, with OQ-qualified lease operators handling daily production management, gauging, chemical treatment, and routine maintenance. Because of ShalePro's footprint as a contract service company, crews can be hired, trained, and relocated to fit each customer's needs, for short-term coverage or long-term operating.
