Completing 8 to 12-inch diameter holes, 300 to 1,000-feet deep is standard for cathodic protection wells. PanTerra Energy has done 10-inch to 320-feet, drilling the hole in one day and coming back to clear the hole the second — keeping production right on schedule. Skyler Wilson, operations manager, credits the 5.5 X 8 mud pump on the DM450 cathodic protection equipment for their success.
“We have the pressure to lift heavy cuttings out of the hole. It’s close to putting out the volume of a 4 X 3, but with 200-250 psi pressure to clear the hole,” Wilson said. “We’re able to muscle in the hole to depth and clean up afterwards.”
