As of July 1982, 901 wells have been directionally drilled in the Long Beach Unit of the East Wilmington Field from 4 man-made islands and land based drilling sites. As more wells are added to each site the planning of new well courses has become more complex. The hand held calculator with Long Beach Unit developed programs has been an aid in laying out new wells which will avoid existing cased boreholes.
