Longest Well in Canada

Kiwetinohk sets new Canadian land record for deepest well using Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS

Pacesetter’s advanced technology, combining XPACE Dual Telemetry MWD and our enhanced PowerDrive Orbit RSS with Acoustic Live Communication, enabled Kiwetinohk to drill a record-breaking 9,023m MD well in the Saxon field. Pacesetter’s XPACE DT MWD and Orbit RSS tools endured a max temperature of 147°C, and there was zero Pacesetter related non-productive time throughout the entire well operation.

Congratulations to Kiwetinohk Energy Corp., the rig crews of DC 2, Pacesetter’s DD and MWD Supervisors, and Pacesetter’s Real-Time Remote Monitoring Operations for effectively executing this impressive well.
