1. Maersk Oil and Gas A/S (Norway)

This paper reports that Maersk Oil and Gas A/S has been actively drilling horizontal wells in the North Sea, and as operator for the Danish Underground Consortium (Shell, Texaco and A. P. Moeller), recently set a world record for horizontal displacement with its Tyra West Bravo-11A (TWB-11A, a horizontal sidetrack out of TWB-11). The well achieved a horizontal displacement of 8,210 ft with an inclination of 86[degrees]. Classified as a horizontal oil producer, TWB-11 had three objectives: Appraise Maastrichtian oil rim production under the gas cap; Appraise the scope for horizontal well drainage on Tyra West; and Initiate oil production.
