Crimped centralizer solution enables record length casing runs in ERD wells

Casing running operations in longer Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) horizontal wells can command more rig time and add operational complexity at a critical moment in the well construction process, particularly in wells longer than 3 miles. Volant’s crimped HydroFORM™ centralizer solution is an enabling reach extension technology that improves casing running efficiency and effectiveness and is proven in some of the longest wells drilled in North America to date. When used in conjunction with flotation and rotation and active management of casing connection integrity, the solution reduces flat time and enables successful casing runs to total depth (TD).
