PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

A 3.87-Mile Lateral With Zero Feet Slid

Pro Directional’s directional team drilled a 20,450-foot lateral in a single run in Upton County’s Wolfcamp A formation. Using one bottomhole assembly (BHA) and a rotary steerable system, the team rotated every foot of the lateral, recording zero feet slid.

The well reached 30,117 feet measured depth (MD) and 9,209 feet true vertical depth (TVD).

Performance at a Glance

• Location: Upton County
• Formation: Wolfcamp A
• Drilling system: Rotary steerable
• Lateral length: 20,450 feet, approximately 3.87 miles
• Lateral runs: One
• Feet slid: Zero
• Gross lateral ROP: 188 ft/hr

One BHA Across More Than 20,000 Feet

The defining result was completing the entire lateral with one BHA in one run. Across 20,450 feet, the directional team maintained rotary drilling through to total depth without sliding.

Reported performance averaged 188 ft/hr gross across the lateral and 252 ft/hr on bottom. These separate measurements capture different aspects of drilling performance and are presented alongside the reported 9.4-day interval from first on bottom to TD.

Execution Across an Extended Lateral

This Wolfcamp A result documents a specific combination of lateral length, drilling rates, and directional execution. For operators evaluating rotary steerable applications, it provides a field example of more than 3.8 miles of lateral drilled in one run.

The outcome reflects the work of Pro Directional’s team and its coordination with the customer and rig crew throughout the operation.

35,772 Feet Total Depth in 15 Days

Pro Directional helped deliver an Eagle Ford Basin well to 35,772 feet total depth (TD) in 15 days from spud, using the ProPower motor platform. The well included a 22,766-foot lateral, with a reported lateral rate of penetration (ROP) of 156.33 ft/hr.

Maximum recorded temperature reached 363°F, adding operating context to the well’s footage and timeline.

Performance at a Glance

• Basin: Eagle Ford
• Motor platform: ProPower
• Total depth: 35,772 feet
• True vertical depth (TVD): 12,976 feet
• Lateral length: 22,766 feet
• Spud to TD: 15 days
• Lateral ROP: 156.33 ft/hr
• Maximum temperature: 363°F

A 22,766-Foot Lateral

The lateral accounted for more than 22,000 feet of the well’s total length. Its reported ROP of 156.33 ft/hr measures drilling performance within that section, while the 15-day spud-to-TD figure captures the overall well timeline.

These measurements describe different aspects of the result: the length drilled, the lateral drilling rate, and the time taken to reach total depth.

Planning and Execution Behind the Result

This Eagle Ford well brought experienced personnel, drilling planning, and the ProPower motor platform together to support the customer’s program. The combination delivered a documented result across an extended lateral, with peak temperature reaching 363°F.

Pro Directional is proud to support the customers and field teams behind this performance.

Curve and Lateral Performance in Sabine Parish

Pro Directional’s Pro Motors platform supported 16,191 feet drilled across the curve and lateral in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. The field run recorded an average rate of penetration (ROP) of 170.29 ft/hr over 95.06 drilling hours, with a maximum recorded temperature of 334°F.

Performance at a Glance

• Location: Sabine Parish, Louisiana
• Application: Curve and lateral
• Motor platform: Pro Motors
• Total footage drilled: 16,191 feet
• Average ROP: 170.29 ft/hr
• Drilling hours: 95.06
• D/C hours: 150
• Maximum temperature: 334°F

More Than 16,000 Feet Across Both Sections

The reported footage covers the curve and lateral portions of the well. Across those sections, the Pro Motors platform supported an average drilling rate of 170.29 ft/hr.

Drilling time and D/C time are reported separately, preserving the distinction between the two operating measurements. The 95.06 drilling hours provide the time basis for the reported average ROP.

Field Results at Elevated Temperature

The run reached a maximum recorded temperature of 334°F. That peak temperature adds context to the footage and drilling-rate results, providing a reference for operators reviewing motor performance under comparable conditions.

Together, these figures document a specific Pro Motors application in Sabine Parish: 16,191 feet across the curve and lateral, 95.06 drilling hours, and a maximum temperature of 334°F.

April’s footage illustrates the scale of Pro Directional’s field activity. Working across drilling programs gives our crews opportunities to apply their knowledge, learn from operational challenges, and carry those lessons into future assignments.

People Behind the Performance

The monthly total reflects the work of our field teams and their coordination with customers and rig crews. Their day-to-day execution turns drilling plans into footage.

For your next well, that experience starts with understanding your program and matching the team’s capabilities to the work ahead.
