There are some common elements between PetroJet and other radial drillers. Radial drillers use high pressure fluids to place laterals into oil and gas formations. These laterals provide high permeability channels that promote improved production rates and increased ultimate reserves.The key to successfully placing laterals is to deliver enough energy to the formation to create a pathway in the rock, allowing the nozzle to move forward.
The main difference consists in the size of our equipment and the power that we deliver to the formation. Other radial drillers use small pumps, small tubing and tiny nozzles to get their power to the formation to place their laterals. These numbers are often under 40 hp (30 kW) and could be even smaller than that. With PetroJet’s larger delivery system and our high pressure, high flow pumps we can deliver over 1000 hp (746 kW) to the formation. This is twenty-five times the power to blast our way through the rock.
