3. Building a Tangent – Why?
Because of Unconventional Uncertainty
Liquid production can be more than expected
It is nice to have the ESP option
Gas can be troublesome
Options for dealing with gas are ideal
IP may prove ESP’s to be the best option

4. Production Benefits from Lowering the Pump
The deeper the set-depth, the higher the fluid column
Higher downhole pressure, less gas through pumps.
A deeper pump is closer to reservoir, reduced pressure drops.
Declining Fluid Level.
By lowering the ESP, we have a “taller” fluid level to work with.

5. Building an ESP friendly tangent – How?
Target DLS < 6° / 100ft, demand < 10° / 100ft
Flanges/housings can deform
Keep DLS < 2° / 100ft where landing ESP
Couplings, bearings (shaft failures), rotational components (wear)
Landing length
Minimum 100ft, may be as high as 200ft
Requirements for building the tangent. Use Stress Analysis model; Dependent on well depth and fluid volume

6. Case History – Lowering the Pump Set Depth
Lowered pump 361 ft MD
Increased Oil Production by 75 bopd
Reduced Intake P by 137 psi

7. The Importance of 3D Hold in Tangents & Curves
6-3/4” AutoTrak™ Curve
Continuous closed loop control with smooth steer force adjustments
High build rates ( deg)
Precise kickoff from vertical into the desired direction
Full directional drilling capabilities, vertical to horizontal
Optional Bulk and Up/Down Gamma Ray
Flow-off surveys

8. 6-3/4” AutoTrak™ Curve: 3D hold introduction
July introduction of 3D Hold mode with AutoTrak Curve in Permian
4 key customers were involved in field test phase
100% success rate
More than 50% fewer downlinks
Performance increase – 40% to 80%

9. 6-3/4” AutoTrak™ Curve: 3D-Hold Performance Highlights
Over 8 hours saved due to 71% fewer downlinks
79% improvement in lateral ROP (112’/hr => 201’/hr)
50% reduction of average lateral DLS
Better quality wellbore due to reduction in tortuosity
