Satellite Uplink

Horizontal Wellbore

Advantages
Multiple wellheads on single pad
Less surface and environmental
disturbance
Less roads and ROWs to maintain
Drilling and production waste centralized
to one site
Centralization of facilities
Lower operating costs

ee wells-All directional to the same formation

wells-One straight well and three directional wells-Same formati
