Using a specialized coiled tubing-capillary unit, the Jet Drill™ procedure can produce a set of drainage channels that can extend up to 30' into the matrix -- well beyond the area of near wellbore damage and into oil rich portions of the pay.
Employing cutting edge radial drilling technology, the Jet Drill™ procedure delivers well enhancement results by creating lateral drainage channels that can range to over 3" in diameter. And, because multiple laterals are drilled into a given horizon, the channels form a sort of wagon-wheel of radial drainage spokes allowing uniform reservoir drainage.
Prior generation and predecessor technology to the Jet Drill™ procedure have been used on wells in the United States and Internationally, including in Canada, Columbia, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Russia and Kazakhstan, with several fold increases in production. The Jet Drill™ procedure improves upon these older, radial drilling methods to deliver greater well enhancement results.
