SAGD horizontal dogleg

Usually drillers try not to create doglegs in the horizontal section of an oil well. However, this SAGD operator has decided to plan for doglegs. They are placing the doglegs toward the last third of these SAGD pairs to maximize drainage.

They want to ensure that they get the best drainage considering offset patterns and their current interpretation of geology. We found this information using AppIntel.

Drilling advances have come a long way in the last 10 years. Most operators want a horizontal hole as straight as possible to reduce differential sticking, fight risk of losing equipment down the hole, and for ease of future workovers.

But we've had the technology to change well trajectory for a long time. In this case, it just makes sense to create a dogleg in the well pair to improve recovery.

Keep up to date on oil and gas technology

You don't need to go to a conference to keep up to date on oil and gas technology. Advances fill the pages of regulatory applications every day. And the advances are all ground truthed to a physical location. When you find new technology in an application, you can also watch its production and reserves ramifications by looking at the production for the well.

Your neighbors are using new technology to reduce cost and improve recovery. The only way you'll find out is by reading their applications. You can have AppIntel to send you an email alert every time an application is submitted within 20 miles of your operation.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's technology for the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical ideas even than SPE papers.
