9,500m Duvernay – Longest Well in Canada

Kiwetinohk breaks the Canadian longest well land record with an unbelievable 9,500m Duvernay well

With Pacesetter’s XPACE Dual Telemetry MWD and enhanced PowerDrive Orbit RSS, Kiwetinohk successfully drilled a record-setting 9,500m MD well in the Simonette field. Not only is this the longest well ever drilled in Canada, but the 5,514m lateral was completed in a single run, marking Pacesetter’s 4th longest RSS run to date.

Congratulations to Kiwetinohk Energy Corp., the rig crews of Akita 41, Pacesetter’s DD and MWD Supervisors, and Pacesetter’s Real-Time Remote Monitoring Operations for this outstanding milestone.
