RE:RE:RE:CO2 EOR Western FieldsNo the new Canadian rig was contracted because it has more capability to handle high pressure situations like cascadura where the deepest targeted sands were not able to be reached in first two wells because of high pressures and high gas flows from the prolific upper formations. (not a bad problem to have). And better able to drill deeper targets like Kraken. It has more horsepower and is more advanced overall.
But as a bonus it is very suitable to drill shallow wells on western lands because the jackknife design makes it easy to move quickly from one site to the next. Plus it should be able to drill more quickly. It should be able to drill those wells with rapid cycle time.
