Case Studies
Much of the Duvernay shale formation in west central Alberta, Canada, requires horizontal drilling and completion. One of Continental Alloys & Services’ clients, Trilogy Energy Corp., began operation in the Duvernay with two wells drilled in early 2012. The wells reached total depths of more than 15,750 feet (4,800 m) and 17,400 feet (5,300 m), with horizontal legs of 5,400 and 5,740 feet (1,650 and 1,750 m) respectively.
