8,450 Feet in 24 Hours in Wolfcamp A
Pro Directional drilled 8,450 feet in 24 hours in the Wolfcamp A formation in Midland County. The operation used a conventional bottomhole assembly (BHA) with a ProPower 6/7 8.4 motor in a 7-7/8-inch hole.
The result was achieved without a rotary steerable system (RSS), pairing a conventional motor configuration with field execution and a drilling plan built around the operator’s authorization for expenditure (AFE).
