Drilling
The authors of this paper describe a method of stimulating a multizone hydrocarbon-producing well wherein a tool is deployed downhole by wireline to generate acid vapor at a target depth, allowing each interval to be treated uniquely.
The company’s new Retina imaging system creates high-resolution borehole images at the drill bit.

Altitude Energy Partners optimized drilling efficiency by minimizing dysfunctions and protecting downhole components. Their directional drilling team ensured consistent curves and laterals through precise BHA design, modeling, and trajectory control—reducing nonproductive time and drilling costs, and achieving a 100% improvement in efficiency by pad completion.
