Lest we forget... Hill is going to emp loy Viper Drill, a service company providing mechanical radial drilling technol- ogy to existing vertical wells. Four mini-horizontals are drilled to bypass any skin damage, increasing the effective drainage size of the reservoir. The results could lead to multiple other operators employing this technology in older fields where hor- izontal drilling is not a reasonable option. • XRO Energy for Field Engineering - The XRO East Echo Springs Production Optimization Project is focused on the Lewis, Lance, Mesaverde, and Ericson Formations in the Greater Green River Basin. The average life of wells in the field is only 15 years, which is leading to a loss of income across the board. XRO is testing a production optimization strategy which aims to increase production and well life. The results could provide a methodology capable of helping numerous other operators optimize their artificial lift and sur- face facilities.
