The need to address deep wellbores and extended laterals motivated Caturus to seek a superior technical solution. The choice of the X33 rig meets the challenges with: a million-pound mast, three 2,000-horsepower mud pumps and the ability to reach up to 35,000 feet deep.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The integration of <strong>Dynamic Gas Blending <\/strong><em>(DGB<\/em>) technology allows you to partially replace diesel with natural gas in your operations. This reduces the <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/articulo\/importance-compressors-on-burning-gas\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"articulo\" data-id=\"127763\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consumption of more polluting fuels<\/a>\n<\/strong>This reduces the consumption of more polluting fuels and, at the same time, the carbon intensity of each well drilled, in line with the energy transition objectives of both companies. <\/p>\n\n<p>The partnership between <em>Caturus Energy <\/em>and <em>Nabors Industries<\/em> stands out for <strong>integrating operational capabilities<\/strong> with advanced automation technology. <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/articulo\/remote-monitoring-pipeline-cp-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"articulo\" data-id=\"258054\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advanced automation technology<\/a>\n<\/strong>. The rig is equipped with <strong>digital control systems<\/strong> and real-time monitoring, which improves operational efficiency and allows for more accurate decision making during critical stages of drilling. <\/p>\n\n<p>According to Eric Kolstad, executive vice president of wells at Caturus, this technology will help maintain the company&#8217;s disciplined approach and achieve its goal of reaching 1 billion cubic feet equivalent per day by 2029.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>X33 platform<\/strong> is operational and is expected to set a new benchmark in terms of safety, efficiency and sustainability within the industry. <em>Nabors Industries<\/em>, with a presence in more than 20 countries, brings its expertise in <strong>process digitalization <\/strong>and<strong> pressure control in complex wells<\/strong>, consolidating a synergy that could influence future developments in the natural gas industry in North America.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabors.com\/caturus-energy-and-nabors-industries-deploy-the-most-powerful-onshore-drilling-rig-in-the-u-s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nabors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New PACE-X Ultra X33 technology is installed in South Texas to boost natural gas production under high-pressure conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":301888,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13036],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-301899","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-oil-and-gas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/301899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/301899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=301899"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=301899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
