Operator Drills to Produce, Improve ROP Performance in 8.5” Section

Overview

A major operator in the Midland basin collaborated with Halliburton to drill a 8.5" horizontal production section improving drilling performance compared to competitor's offset runs in the same field, reducing lateral drilling time by ~20%. Halliburton Sperry Drilling delivered an engineered drilling solution, including the iCruise^® intelligent rotary steerable system (RSS), 7" StrataForce™ high-performance motor, and 8.5” Geotech^® GTi65DHEO drill bit. The 6.75” iCruise RSS drilled the 2.5-mile lateral in one run. CruiseControl™ technology was utilized to hold inclination and azimuth delivering a high quality wellbore, helping the operator maximize asset value.
