... of multilateral technology would not begin for another 40 years. Extended-reach wells have a similar development, starting in the early 1980s and improving continuously. Many people consider BP’s Wytch Farm in the late 1990s to be the breakthrough for this technology. For the past 20 years, both multilateral...

This is a good example of drilling an extended-reach well using an integrated approach between various disciplines. Another example is given in paper SPE 191436, which shows how...

... with considerable potential for increased recovery. Drilling wells to access the remote parts of the reservoirs is a key factor in this, but many wells may prove uneconomical, so fewer extended-reach wells are often chosen. For the past 15 years, many wells have been drilled with step outs of 30,000–40,000 ft...
