surface: conventional gas horizontals
Conventional shallow gas reservoirs are typically drilled on compressed air or air-foam (air+soap+additives) to depths of 5,000 feet, to maintain as dry a hole as possible without introducing drilling fluid (water and or water and bentonite slurry. This is because drilling fluid infiltrations at lithostatic pressure can "kill" the Pay-zone's potential for gas recovery. Furthermore, hydraulic fracturing of the Pay-zone(s), has not been economic, costing to much with little or no increase in gas production. Target Drilling has the unique capability to offer kicking-off the vertical conventional gas wells (and drilling the entire well) directionally to intercept the Pay-zone(s) horizontally and then continuing horizontal laterals in the Pay-zone(s) ALL DIRECTIONALLY DRILLED ON AIR-FOAM! Target's laterals can be directionally drilled on air-foam thousands of feet staying within the Pay-zone(s) to enhance connection with natural fractures maximizing gas production.
