Esso Resources Canada Ltd. drilled its second horizontal well at Cold Lake, this time achieving a 1016-m (3,333-ft) horizontal interval. Two key limitations - hole drag and wellbore position accuracy - required special attention. The well design and the methods planned to accommodate these limitations are compared with the actual well data.
