This paper reports that the upward surge in horizontal drilling projects shows no signs of slackening and innovative applications of the technique continue. Dual horizontal laterals are the latest innovation that may accelerate the spread of horizontal drilling. Horizontal drilling in 1990 increased markedly over the previous year, according to the survey presented. The survey shows over 460 wells that have not appeared in OGJ's previous two surveys. Most of these wells had horizontal laterals greater than 1,000 ft in the reservoir. In addition, operators indicated that they drilled 62 horizontal wells with laterals less than 1,000 ft.
