of reservoirs that previously gave no fi nancial output. Before switching over to horizontal wells, the extraction degree of the Dan fi eld was assessed to 7-8%. Today the extraction degree is above 30% - mainly driven by horizontal wells with its corresponding well technology, Anders Damgaard informs. While the Dan fi eld due to age uses vertical as well as horizontal drilling for the oil extraction, the Halfdan fi eld was from the beginning completed by using only horizontal drillings with a total of 55 wells. The reservoir would hardly have become attractive without using the horizontal technology, which has also played an important social role, as Denmark today is the only EU country with a net export of oil. 16 Offshore Center Danmark Yearbook 2008 Increasing Interest from Abroad In DUC the number of horizontal wells has overtaken the vertical wells, as the oil now fl ows in 276 horizontal drillings. In a few years, in Al Shaheen in Qatar the number of horizontal wells will exceed 300. - In the North Sea there are several reservoirs of chalk layers with a very low fl ow. On the other hand, the diffi cult chalk has given us the possibility of developing technologies useful in other parts of the world. We have conducted great part of the drilling of horizontal wells around the world, and offshore we are among the leading companies within the area. The technology has proved to be qualifi ed in Denmark as well as in Qatar, whereas it is not fi nancially attractive in other regions, such as Kazakhstan, where the oil extraction takes place on land, and consequently not possible to the same extent to gain fi nancial savings on platforms and the expensive installations, Anders Damgaard says. He emphasizes that at each and every reservoir a thorough analysis has to be effectuated in order to determine the right extraction method. Horizontal wells require a certain area, whereas reservoirs with a high oil column would reach a higher extraction rate by using vertical or defl ected wells. However, Maersk Oil and Gas is convinced that the Danish knowledge holds export opportunities. - We experience a continuous interest from national oil companies in other parts of the world, where diffi cult reservoirs are found, the Vice President, Anders Damgaard, informs. ■ Monitor everything, sacrifice nothing.

How will you do it if the information you need is too difficult or expensive to access? The Honeywell XYR 5000 wireless transmitters remove the barriers to monitoring variables where traditional transmitters are too costly to implement. They’re designed for applications with no access to power, hazardous or remote locations, where instrumentation changes are frequent or where manual readings are taken today. Reliably and securely transmit up to 2000 feet on a 3-5 year battery life with an accuracy of ±0.1%. You’ll quickly and safely monitor process areas and assets you’ve only ever dreamed of.
