Demanding environment drives continual evolution in RSS and drilling practices

摘要

Operators and service companies work together to push the limits of technology while drilling better quality wellbores and more productive wells. As operators strive to make the most of leased acreage, lateral lengths in U.S. horizontal shale wells have increased at rapid rates. Unconventional plays in North America require drillers to maximize production to keep wells economically viable as they battle unstable commodity prices and seek to minimize investment risk.
