The Longest Well in Canada

In December of 2023, Tamarack Valley drilled eleven 2-mile lateral legs in their 102/03-18-075-25W4 Clearwater well in the heart of Marten Hills. The open-hole well extends to a combined 33,636 meters from the 11 legs drilled in 3 stacks, placed in a wine rack pattern in the 20 meter thick sand package.

Frankenwells (Complex Well Designs)

Well design gets complicated and extremely efficient in mature basins such as the WCSB. From well established to convoluted multilaterals, up-tracks, high turns, wine-racks, cubes to chicken legs, paper clips and other weird and wonderful designs, this is a collection of technology pushing developments. Below you can find a gallery of some of the wildest […]

Paperclip Wells

Starting with Shell in 2019, a few Permian basin drillers adopted this striking well design. It looks like an unraveled paperclip, and has been called “horseshoe well’ or “U-Turn well”. Shell adopted the “horseshoe” well design at well NEELIE 1-85 LOV-4H to address technical issues, as well as lease rights (source). These wells usually target […]
