These technologies enabled the operator to drill the 6 1/4-in hole in a single run with 97% in-zone footage in the thin ostracod sand, preventing the possibility of a sticking scenario or sidetracking the well. This exceeds the previous reservoir contact of 85% to 90% in offset wells suffering multiple exits. The high data transmission from the ShortPulse MWD platform enabled optimal drilling performance without compromising well placement, and the hole was drilled with minimal tortuosity, resulting in a smoother borehole.
