Since a lot of them are pad drilled (many wells on one pad right by each other) and the wellbores are not very straight, rod pumping is more difficult due to increased failure rates. Many of these horizontal wells start out with Gas Lift as the artificial method, or ESP (if it makes less gas and has a higher water cut).
Здравствуйте! Спасибо за видео и за то, что вы делитесь своим опытом и знанием)
спасибо и здоровья!

You mentioned that a lot of horizontal wells don't use rod systems. I'm curious, what systems do they normally use?

esps when they start off till they pump off then gas lift normally then end of life rod pumps
