Three Record Cardium Wells Drilled with Pacesetter’s Orbit RSS

Pacesetter’s modified Orbit RSS breaks records in the Pembina field

Using Pacesetter’s combined technologies of XPACE EM MWD and our modified PowerDrive Orbit RSS, one Operator drilled 3 record wells in the Pembina field. The vertical and build sections on the final 2 wells were drilled while continuing on into the lateral reaching TD in one run.

The fastest of the 3 wells was completed in only 4 days from spud to TD.

Congratulations to the Operator and the rig crews for these impressive achievements.
