HOUSTON --INTEQ Norway and Hughes Christensen recently completed a world record run in the Troll field on the semisubmersible Deep Sea Trym.
The 6 ¾-in (171.5-mm) AutoTrak X-treme System, in conjunction with OnTrak, LithoTrak, CoPilot and an HCC's Genesis PDC drill bit, drilled an 8 ½-in (216-mm) horizontal hole section of 2,027 m (6,651 ft) in 212.6 total circulating hours (153.4 drilling hrs). System functionality enabled the wellpath to be optimally positioned, including two planned open-hole sidetracks.
