Predator Technologies

To meet the price-cost challenge of today's oil and gas market, operators commonly turn to horizontal drilling to improve production and return on investment from both new and re-entry wells. Predator Technologies provides an experienced staff of Directional Drillers, well planners, and the engineering talent that is required to complete these complicated projects.

Guiding a drillstring along a horizontal path and keeping it within a narrow pay zone requires reliable hardware, advanced navigation systems, expert directional drilling and careful planning.

Whether you are drilling for Oil, Gas, Coal Bed Methane or Tar sands, Predator Technologies' complete horizontal drilling systems, which include steerable motors, drilling tools, and surveying/orientation devices are the complete state of the art packages required to accomplish these tasks.

Using these systems, our horizontal drilling teams can continuously measure and evaluate drilling parameters in real time, monitor and control well path trajectory, and provide formation evaluation information while drilling. Our geosteering capabilities are used to locate reservoirs, identify gas/oil contacts, effectively place--and keep-- horizontal wellbores within a formation boundary, and interactively steer to and through the optimum sections of a reservoir. The result is optimum use of your drilling investment through wells that are drilled and evaluated in the most efficient manner possible.

These techniques are used by our directional drillers every day in the Barnett Shale play as well as many other fields.
