4. Leading The Industry With Innovation
Three of many aspects Horizontal Well Drillers brings to the industry are automation, safety, and
innovation. These state of the art rigs are almost fully automated. Whether it is the pipe handler,
the hydraulic pipe racks, or the custom hydraulic iron roughneck, the automation of these rigs
decrease floor hand involvement in normal drilling operations while also increasing the speed of
tripping pipe.
HWD strives to provide top-notch safety training and promote the safest working environment.
This starts with the advances that the company has brought to the industry. The automation of
the rigs works to keep hands from dangerous situations found on conventional rigs. It continues
with the hiring and training of each and every employee. Every rig hand is required to take and
pass several safety courses like PEC SafeLand, forklift operation and first aid/CPR. HWD also
supplies to each employee all the necessary tools to facilitate safety, including coveralls, impact
gloves, climbing harnesses, safety glasses, respirators, and hard hats.

6. Benefits of HWD Technological Advances
Horizontal Well Drillers (HWD) is a provider in contract drilling services. Whatever the client may
need, whether that be deep or shallow wells with long laterals, or conventional vertical wells,
HWD has a perfect drilling solution. Even though these innovative rigs can drill vertical wells
easily and efficiently, HWD puts a major focus in horizontal drilling. By bringing patent-pending
technology to the industry, clients are drilling laterals of over 3,000 ft to 10,000 ft, at depths as
shallow as 250 ft all the way to 10,000 ft deep.
• Major increase in pay zone

• Laterals have been successfully drilled out to over 10,000 ft
• ROP (Rate Of Penetration) remains as high as 80% while drilling long laterals
• Top drive - best in class performance - 24,000 ft-lbs of torque
• Wiggle steer technology - allows curves & laterals to be drilled faster
• Range 3 drill pipe with joint length of 45 ft allows for faster trip time (1000 ft - 1400 ft per hour)
• Casing can be run with or without casing crews
• No lay down machines needed
• Can rotate & circulate the hole while tripping pipe or running casing
• No cranes needed for rig up or rig down

These pump skids are easy to hookup and are mounted with camera systems which can be
viewed from the state of the art drilling cabin. This ensures full time monitoring of the pumps to
ensure minimal downtime. Whatever the need of the client may be, HWD has the right pumps to
match the right rig to be successful.
