Description

Should any Party elect not to participate in any Horizontal Exploratory Well, other than the Initial Well proposed under the terms of the Agreement, the non-participating Party agrees to farmout to the participating Parties its interest. Guam Farm out — Horizontal Wells are a type of drilling technique used in the oil and gas industry, specifically for extracting hydrocarbons from offshore reservoirs in Guam. This method involves drilling wells horizontally through the target formation, allowing for greater access to the reservoir and maximizing production. Unlike traditional vertical wells, which only access a limited area of the reservoir, horizontal wells are designed to intersect the reservoir horizontally, increasing the contact area between the well bore and the reservoir. This results in higher production rates, improved recovery efficiency, and reduced overall costs. Horizontal well drilling begins with drilling a vertical well bore to a certain depth. At the desired depth, the drilling equipment is then redirected at a specific angle to drill horizontally through the reservoir. This drilling technique requires advanced drilling technologies, including rotary steerable systems, measurement-while-drilling (MID) tools, and sophisticated drilling software. There are several types of Guam Farm out — Horizontal Wells, including: 1. Tangential Horizontal Wells: These wells are drilled at a specific angle and direction to intersect the target formation horizontally. The angle aims to optimize production and drain the reservoir efficiently. 2. Radial Horizontal Wells: In radial horizontal wells, multiple laterals are drilled from a single vertical well bore in a radial pattern, similar to spokes on a wheel. This allows for the drainage of a larger area of the reservoir, increasing production potential. 3. Wishbone Horizontal Wells: This type of horizontal well drilling technique involves drilling several laterals from a single vertical well bore, resembling the shape of a wishbone. The laterals branch out at various angles, increasing reservoir access and boosting overall production. 4. Multilateral Horizontal Wells: Multilateral wells involve drilling multiple horizontal well bores from a single vertical well bore. This technique maximizes the contact area with the reservoir and enhances production rates. Guam Farm out — Horizontal Wells are crucial for optimizing oil and gas production in offshore reservoirs, particularly in Guam. The ability to access a larger area of the reservoir and the enhanced drainage capabilities make horizontal drilling a preferred technique in many oil and gas exploration and production projects.
