Unmatched expertise in well intercepts

With over 300 well intercepts drilled over a four-decade track record of success globally, the RangeStar™ Well Intercept Service from Halliburton achieves an industry high success rate.

The RangeStar™ Well Intercept Service is used to precisely position wellbores when access to the target wellbore is not available. The RangeStar™ Well Intercept Service uses a wireline receiver and excitation source. A current is injected into the formation and a distinct magnetic field is produced on the target well. This magnetic field is then analyzed by the receiver providing a distance and direction (magnetic/ gravity/gyro) to the target up to 200 ft (61 m) away.

Applications

  • Relief well drilling
  • Collision avoidance
  • Ghost well detection
  • Complex Well Abandonment
  • Fish bypass
  • Wellbore recovery
  • Complex completions
  • Slot Recovery

Benefits

  • 40 Year history of wellbore intersections with a typical crew having over 2500+ days of well intercept field experience
  • Optimizes wellbore positioning to intersect without direct access
  • Mitigates compounding error sources by providing a relative proximity measurement
  • Provides accurate measurements at a greater distance than other “no-access” solutions

Features

  • On bottom measurements improve directional control
  • Works on steel and non-magnetic tubulars
  • Detection range works with all sizes of tubulars
  • Integrated gyro reference available for low-inclination intercepts
  • Deployable in open hole or pipe
  • Can be customized to work in most salt formations
