Directional Drilling in Sayre, Pennsylvania
Directional drilling and MWD/LWD for the dry-gas Marcellus core in Bradford, Susquehanna, Tioga and Wyoming counties.
Geo Mag Technologies provides directional drilling services for operators working around Sayre, Pennsylvania. Sayre sits in Bradford County on the New York line, in the dry-gas core of the north-east Pennsylvania Marcellus. Geo Mag supplies the mud motors, MWD tool and complete bottom hole assembly needed to drill a deviated well and plans the trajectory beforehand.
The company is based in Broussard, Louisiana and is available for projects anywhere in the United States. Travel distance is not a limiting factor.

The north-east Marcellus core
Bradford, Susquehanna, Tioga, Wyoming and Sullivan counties form the dry-gas core of the Marcellus. Development has been horizontal from the start, with multi-well pads drilled into the hills of the Susquehanna River valley and its tributaries. Laterals have lengthened over time, and pipeline takeaway capacity has at times paced drilling more than the rock has.
The play is mature enough that new wells are frequently infill laterals between existing ones, which makes offset-well planning and survey accuracy central to the program. On a mature dry-gas program the tool challenge is precision and reliability over long laterals, run after run.

Geo Mag capabilities for Bradford County laterals
Geo Mag's well planning service maps the trajectory before drilling begins, accounting for the target and offset wells, which is the starting point for an infill lateral between existing wellbores. It drills against that plan with Bico and Tomahawk mud motors, RSS, Key Drill drilling systems and complete BHA packages, steered on company-owned positive-pulse MWD tools.
Gamma runs in the string, and wave propagation resistivity is available for geosteering. Geo Mag reports a mean time between failures of 5,600 hours below the rotary table for its tools, a figure it does not date. Polaris logs the well and pushes data to the operator WITSML server for remote monitoring.

Systems relevant to this region
Positive-pulse MWD tool
Directional, gamma and resistivity configurations
The MWD tool is the instrument that tells the directional driller where the bit is and where it is heading. Survey and tool-face data come up the mud column as pressure pulses, so the trajectory can be corrected while drilling instead of after a trip.
Wave propagation resistivity (WPR) sub
Geosteering, correlation and wireline replacement
Propagation resistivity reads the formation around the bit in real time, so a lateral can be steered to stay in the target zone and casing points can be picked without waiting on a wireline run.
Polaris RDS logging system
Gamma and directional data logging with remote monitoring
The logging system is where surveys, gamma and drilling parameters become the well record: plots, LAS files and reports the operator keeps, and a live feed the office can watch without being on location.
