Sidetracks
Sidetracks are often a cost-effective strategy for increasing the rate of return on capitalized assets:
- Access stranded reserves.
- Utilize existing infrastructure.
However, these programs come with their own set of challenges:
- Damaged pre-existing casing.
- ID restrictions.
- Drilling depleted zones.
Implementing SET expandable systems into sidetrack programs provides flexibility and enables overall production enhancement:
- Exit at optimal locations.
- Extend reach.
- Increase ID.
- Add casing strings.
The SET Solution can be applied across an entire field providing an even better return on investment, as proven by a project in the Indian Ocean.
