Velvet Drills Record Montney Pad

Fastest of 4 outstanding wells, the final well breaks records in under 6.5 days to TD

Using Pacesetter’s combined technologies of XPACE EM MWD, our modified Pin Down PowerDrive Orbit RSS, and Montney High Performance motor, Velvet drilled their fastest well in the Montney field to date.

Completed in just over 6 days from Spud to TD, this pacesetter well was the final well on a record breaking pad.

Congratulations to Velvet Energy Ltd., Ramdar Resource Management Ltd., and the rig crews of Horizon 50 on this remarkable accomplishment.
