Background

An operator planned an onshore extended lateral well in the Appalachian basin located in Guernsey County, Ohio. The goal was to drill an 8 1/2-in wellbore through the unconventional Utica Shale in a single run with minimum tortuosity. Schlumberger recommended using the PowerDrive Orbit RSS in the PowerDrive vorteX powered RSS configuration. The recommendation also included using the TeleScope high-speed telemetry-while-drilling service.

Operator Uses PowerDrive Orbit RSS to Drill Record Lateral in North America

Integrated technologies drill 19,391-ft [5,910-m] extended-lateral well in a single run with excellent azimuthal control

The 19,391-ft [5,910-m] lateral section was drilled in a single run with a drill time of 104 hours of on-bottom drill time and wiper trips. Drilling at an average ROP of 186.5 ft/h [56.7 m/h], the PowerDrive Orbit RSS minimized tortuosity because of its hold inclination and azimuth capability.
