Aspenleaf Energy drills deepest MD Swan Hills well
Congratulations to Aspenleaf Energy Limited together with the rig and crew of Ensign 32 on this achievement.
Pacesetter’s combined technologies, paired with an Impulse “Hex Drive” motor and triple “Actipulse” friction reduction tools, drilled a tortuous and challenging well plan in the Swan Hills formation to a total depth of 6,188m MD, making this the deepest well to date for Aspenleaf Energy and deepest MD well in Swan Hills.

Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS breaks another record for longest single run at 5,186m, and longest well at 8,510m for Shell Canada
Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS and MWD combination enabled Shell to successfully drill this Duvernay well with a single build and lateral run to TD at 8,510m.
Together, these technologies were able to drill 5,186m in just over 3.5 days of operation and complete the build and lateral in a single run. Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS held the trajectory within the specified target drilling at over 70 m/hr (average ROP) in the lateral section.
Congratulations to Shell Canada Limited and their Operations, Engineering, and DART team together with the rig and crew of PD 574 on this record accomplishment.

In September, NuVista Energy drilled a Charlie Lake well utilizing Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS with Acoustic sub technology providing Inc at Bit technology to drill the lateral leg in one run.
Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS performed exceptionally well with Acoustic sub technology allowing NuVista to make inclination changes to stay within this tight zone of interest.
Congratulations to NuVista Energy Ltd. and the crew of Horizon 45 for completing this well.

Pacesetter Assists Clients Achieve Precise Well Placement Objectives with PeriScope HD, AWR and AGR Services
Integrated technologies increase reservoir contact enabling crucial placement of horizontal section within the reservoir.
PeriScope HD multilayer bed boundary detection service accurately detects multiple formation layers, orientation of approaching beds and fluid boundary positions to enable advanced well placement services in complex, thinly bedded and compartmentalized reservoirs. The PeriScope HD service uses a combination of inversion models with additional azimuthal measurements to provide precise delineation of formation bed boundaries for advanced well placement and accurate definition of multiple productive layers.
AWR service transmits real-time resistivity, gamma ray, and inclination data for improved reservoir evaluation.
AGR service uses total and azimuthal-image gamma ray functionality to reveal bed crossings and boundaries, enabling confident geosteering decisions.

BACKGROUND
Companies plan to drill horizontal sections to access thin reservoirs. However, there are uncertainties as
to the exact position of the reservoir layers within the formation. Consequently, companies need to ascertain better positioning of the target reservoirs and place the maximum length of the lateral inside the reservoir layer(s) while minimizing the risk of exiting the reservoir.
