What is the installation time for a horizontal well?
Installation time can vary based on the length and depth of the well and the complexity of the geology. For example, Longbore completed a 437.1 metre (1434 ‘) continuous well (HDPE screen and casing) completed in gravel and cobble formation. The installation required eight days, with an additional two days of well development. Wells of 61 metres (200’) or less have been completed in less than three days. Blind wells normally require slightly more time for installation. Longbore completed a blind well, total length of 335.3 metres (1100’) with 208.8 metres (685’) of screen, in fifteen days including rig up/down and well development.
