At this time,our team of technologists with the sidetracking team of Eriell Co. conducted a whipstock job in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Сustomer is LUKOIL Uzbekistan Operating Company.

At 6627 ft. depth in well no. 8 of Koushkuduk oilfield hydraulic type whipctock was set up and window was cut in 7” production casing (N-80 steel grade, 13/32“ wall thickness). Despite the high strength steel the window was cut just for 7.5 hours. 6” PDC bit of Smith was passed through the window without any landings.

For the first time for whipstock’s orientation was used Wedge-03 compact orientator. Telemetry support of lateral bore drilling was provided by leading experts of Schlumberger who verified the correctness of whipstock’s landing.

This job of Drilling Innovations Co. has once again confirmed that our Russian equipment is able to compete with foreign analogs as well at home and on abroad!

At the time of writting this news Eriell Co has completed drilling of lateral hole through our window and we hope that we can still be useful for Eriell Co on the next wells.
