Greater confidence in congested conditions

The RangeStar™ Magnetic Guidance Service provides an active magnetic ranging solution, enabling the drilling of parallel wells with high precision separation tolerances. Improved survey accuracy enhances the safe and efficient placement of multiple wellbores within tight tolerances.

The service consists of a downhole electromagnetic source and an MWD service. It generates a known magnetic field, which the MWD service reads with an accuracy of less than 5 percent of the separation distance. In Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) applications, this translates to wellbore position accuracy within a foot of the reference well, resulting in vertically aligned well pairs at a fixed distance distances. For infill drilling and collision avoidance, operators can confidently place wells closer together than with traditional survey methods.

Advanced technology and wide experience to stay on course

The RangeStar™ Magnetic Guidance Service and the RangeStar™ Rotating Magnet Well Positioning Service are used to drill the majority of SAGD pairs worldwide, equating to over 3,000 well pairs.

  • Improves collision avoidance while allowing tight well spacing

Features

  • Accuracy of less than 5 percent of the separation distance
  • Eliminates outside magnetic influences
