RSS Multilateral with 12,090m Run

Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS drills a record 12,090m in a single run as part of a 6 leg multilateral well

Combined Pacesetter technologies of XPACE Dual Telemetry MWD and our modified PowerDrive Orbit Rotary Steerable System allowed PTRL to successfully drill a 16,989m MD six leg multilateral well in the Royce field. The well was completed in two runs, with the longest single run being 12,090m.

Congratulations to Prairie Thunder Resources Ltd. , Vertex Resource Group, and the rig crews of Horizon 21 on this incredible accomplishment.
