What does ERD stand for?

Byline: manish03 The California State Lands Commission voted not to approve an extended reach drilling project that would have recovered nearly 100 million bbl of oil and brought as much as $5 billion to the financially insolvent state.

Thompson comes to Atlas Energy with 30 years of experience in drilling engineering, including horizontal and extended reach drilling.

These achievements include the on-schedule commencement of first production, timely completion of the export pipeline and terminal and the start-up of the crude export operations, commissioning of the Onshore Processing Facility ahead of schedule, successful ramp-up of production to design levels of 250,000 barrels (34,000 metric tons) of oil per day and the drilling of record-breaking extended reach drilling (ERD) wells.

Energy Editors/Business Editors HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2003 K&M Technology Group, the oil and gas industry's primary source for extended reach drilling (ERD) and complex well design, has teamed with Schipul Technologies to launch a new design for K&M Technology's Web site.

The "Baroness" has been upgraded for operations in excess of 7,000 feet of water and is designed for development and extended reach drilling.

Extended reach drilling enabled the field to be brought into production quickly, safely and in an environmentally responsible manner via the existing Q8-A platform some three miles away.

In addition to Weld-Tech's structural design and manufacturing capabilities, RTI Energy Systems offers engineered riser systems for subsea applications, as well as land-based applications such as short-radius and extended reach drilling operations.

This concept would utilize extended reach drilling technology from an onshore site in Santa Barbara County to reach reserves in the South Ellwood Offshore Field.
