The oil and gas industry has a long-standing history of transforming itself through the development of new technologies. One of its most valuable innovations is pad drilling. This process enables operators to shorten cycle time by drilling multiple wells in tight clusters with minimal time spent rigging up or moving rigs. With multi-well sites, operators have been able to increase production rates while simultaneously decreasing rig counts. And because pad drilling is more efficient, the reductions in drilling time yield substantial cost savings. In the first quarter of 2014, the industry saw a 70% increase in the growth of pad drilling for horizontal wells. These efficiencies are paving the way for future advancements.
