Results
Conclusion
Throughout the entire 21,298‑foot interval, CAMScout demonstrated exceptional stability and drilling efficiency. Including the curve interval, the motor maintained a low 7.7% sliding and produced 8% less dogleg severity resulting in a higher‑quality wellbore and improved long‑term production potential. In comparison with the closest offset in the same PAD and target formation the motor delivered higher ROP, saved 3 trips, 5 days, and drilled 21.2 ft farther.
