With the ever-increasing demand to increase the efficiency of hydrocarbon production, operators are faced with the task to maximize the reservoir productivity. As the complexity of wellbore construction and associated demands for high tech completions produce substantial challenges that require the deployment of innovative technologies and procedures.

Operators, service providers, and product manufacturers continuously cooperate to identify, develop, test, and deploy the systems that are suited to provide increased wellbore placement accuracy and quality to drill curves with consistent build rates and to extend the horizontal length of the production zone.

In order to be able to provide operators with capable solutions in a timely manner, it is vital for the industry to understand where the market is going, and what demands customers will put on the service industry and equipment manufacturers in order to successfully reach their drilling and completion objective.

In order to provide a forum to share what it will take in the future to be successful, the IADD has dedicated it’s September 27^th luncheon where a number of operators have the opportunity to share their respective vision.

​​​​​​​

The subjects that will be discussed may include the following:

• Growth areas, activity levels, future rig count.
• Number of wells per pad, wellbore spacing, formations, horizontal length.
• Engineering requirements such as well plans, static and dynamic BHA analyses, wellbore quality, survey accuracy, software capability.
• MWD system capability like Real-time measurements (Inc, Azi, Vibe etc.), Azi-Gamma, Resistivity, Data rate.
• Motor capability
• Rotary Steerable Options
• Competency of Directional Drillers, MWD Operators, and Engineering support.
• Reporting
