As horizontal drilling programs continue to proliferate across the industry, and new technologies and operational practices are developed and advanced, the reality of a one-run well has emerged. In various applications across several provinces in Western Canada, the ultimate goal of drilling a horizontal well in one run from surface casing has been realized. This success comes as a function of the combined effort of the operator, directional drilling company and PDC bit company to solve the multitude of technical challenges facing a monobore strategy in areas with hole stability issues.
