Results for tag: "Extended Reach Drilling"

Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) is a technology used in oil and gas exploration and production to drill wells with horizontal sections that extend beyond the reach of conventional drilling techniques. ERD technology enables operators to access more of the reservoir, increasing production and reducing costs. ERD wells are typically drilled with a combination of directional drilling and extended reach drilling techniques. The directional drilling component is used to create the horizontal section of the well, while the extended reach drilling component is used to extend the well beyond the reach of conventional drilling techniques. ERD technology is used in a variety of applications, including deepwater drilling, shale gas drilling, and tight gas drilling. ERD technology is becoming increasingly important in the oil and gas industry as operators look to maximize production and reduce costs. Companies in the ERD market include Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Weatherford International, and National Oilwell Varco. Show Less Read more
