Guided by 2-D seismic data, Continental drilled horizontally into the Red River B, a formation that had frustrated other operators drilling vertical wells in the past. The company’s first well, the Jean Patterson in Montana, yielded several hundred barrels of oil production a day, Hamm recalls.
Horizontal drilling provides more contact to a reservoir formation than a vertical well and allows more hydrocarbons to be produced from a given wellbore. For example, six to eight horizontal wells drilled from one location, or well pad, can access the same reservoir volume as 16 vertical wells.
23 maj 2018 · This boom in production combined with recent advances in modern horizontal drilling technology and fracking has unlocked vast U.S. shale reserves. The technology has stirred much controversy, spurring protests from environmental groups and residents of communities in active shale production areas.
1 lut 2018 · In this state-of-the-art review of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), four common estimation models for calculating pullback loads, borehole stability equations, and two calculation methods for drilling fluid pressure in the borehole were discussed.
