Horizontal Well Drillers is a major provider in contract drilling services. We offer our customers up to date drill rigs with innovative drilling services - with a major focus in horizontal drilling.

Through new patent pending proven technologies, HWD has created the ability to drill oil & gas wells ranging from 500' to 13000' in vertical depth, with a proven horizontal capability of up to 7,000' (longer laterals are in the near future). We have completed wells with a shallow TVD of 500' with 7,000'+ laterals. The rating of the new drill rig is 13,000' true vertical depth, or a combination of both vertical and horizontal. This new method of drilling is accomplished by using a rack and pinion system. This allows us to have 330,000 lbs. of push and pull power at all times during the drilling operation. With the constant force it allows us to maintain a consistent ROP (Rate of Penetration) throughout the lateral drilling process. In conventional drilling methods your ROP is greatly depleted due to the lack of pressure that is exerted to the bit as it is cutting. Our technology not only allows us to run a larger bit that will increase the pay zone, but it also give the client and customer a reduction in AFE (Authority for Expenditure) costs up front.

Horizontal wells generally increase productivity to at least 4 to high as 25 times that of vertical wells. Wells that would have otherwise been considered marginal or uneconomic have been revamped by means of horizontal drilling. The oil or natural gas in some types of reservoirs can be most thoroughly recovered by horizontal drilling. The following reservoir types are excellent examples of conditions that benefit from this technology:

• Thin reservoirs: In cases where hydrocarbon deposits are wider than they are thick, vertical wellbores are only able to extract oil and gas from a small area surrounding the wellbore. However, horizontal wells use lengthy lateral arms to extend into these long, flat reservoirs and drain a significantly larger area.
• Reservoirs with natural vertical fractures: Fracturing within the formation causes little "pipelines" through which the hydrocarbons can flow. Encountering the fractures at an angle perpendicular to the wellbore improves productivity.
• Locating isolated and bypassed oil and gas reservoirs: Horizontal wells can be used to search for overlooked reserves within a field. In an existing field, vertical wells are often re-entered and drilled horizontally to reach those isolated and bypassed reserves. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, "Since 1990, the vast majority of reserve additions in the United States-89 percent of oil reserve additions and 92 percent of gas reserve additions-have come from finding new reserves in old fields"(Environmental Benefits of Advanced Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Technology, 1999).
• Accessing reserves in environmentally sensitive areas: In some areas, drilling is restricted for environmental reasons or because a rig cannot be set up on the proposed pad site. This often occurs when the targeted formation is under a building, below a shallow lake, or in a protected wildlife habitat. In cases where a vertical well cannot be used, horizontal drilling can access the targeted reservoir while leaving the surface habitat undisturbed.

Horizontal Well Drillers is always looking to save the client capital and operating costs. In addition to draining the same amount as three to as high as 25 vertical wellbores. A horizontal well costs significantly less than drilling several vertical wells in the same area. The operating costs associated with infrastructure, wellhead equipment, and maintenance is also significantly reduced.

 Horizontal Well Drillers (HWD) technology defies the traditional horizontal well drilling method by bringing a new revolutionary method to the oil and gas industry.  Completed new documented world record by HWD 13 to 1 Ratio, 400'tvd / 5,220' horizontal length with an 8 3/4 inch hole, which the world record was currently 7 to 1 tvd/hd.
