The project at a glance
Drill cool systems installed three Geo-Coolers™ running in parallel, returning the mud pit temperature to a stable and safe condition
IMMEDIATE RISK: SURFACE TEMPERATURES NEARING 213°F / 101°C
The Medco Energy Lemetang SINGA 3 & 4 Well had a true vertical depth (TVD) of 11,100ft. / 3383.28m. The established trajectory was a 45° angle kick off point until 9,900 ft./ 3018 m. The second kick off of 88° angle until 11,100ft. / 3383m., then horizontal 1,400ft. / 427m. Utilizing OBM mud, 17.4PPG 5.5 DP.
