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.
The times are changing and so are our industry’s prospects, as hydrocarbons are now recognized as cardinal to affordable energy security for the conceivable future. But, in avoidance of suspense, the answer to the headline question is “absolutely.” Here we look at the rationale why.
