... to 73.0 mm) with lengths over 6,000 m. The preference for larger diameter CT is a result of operators drilling longer lateral lengths to stimulate as many zones as economically possible. To illustrate recent trends in Canadian CT operations, statistics from the past 10 years of horizontal drilling...

... encouraged the introduction of new technologies, and increased drilling activity and boosted production from unconventional plays. For example, horizontal drilling revived older plays, such as the Austin Chalk. Moreover, the combination of horizontals wells and advanced fracture stimulation techniques led...

... Abstract First discovered in 1951, development of the Bakken formation in the Williston Basin has been problematic and inconsistent. However, technological advancements in horizontal drilling and completions in the past decade have steadily improved production results and consistency on a well...

... energy portfolio for many years. Recent successes and improvements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies in a variety of geologic basins have created the opportunity for shale gas to be a strategic part of the nation's energy and economic growth.

...) There is currently a need to improve multi-zone or multiformation stimulations within a single well bore. Directional and horizontal drilling The objectives of directional (purposely deviated) and horizontal drilling are typically related either to avoiding surface occupation or to increasing production...

.... This new mathematical model is presented to overcome the limitation in the existing two-layer models. This enables efficient prediction of cuttings transport during horizontal drilling using coiled tubing. In particular, the model described in this paper formulates transport process and includes...

... with a vertical section of 7,450 ft. Economics of the project were optimized by "batch drilling", that is, drilling to target depth on all wells prior to any horizontal drilling. Accurate geosteering was accomplished using near-bit MWD sensors integrated with a directional drilling motor. Before drilling, MWD...
