This is odd to see anymore, unless they were previously drilled, now they are trying new technique called "spidering" I believe. Instead of just going straight down to, or above the "PDC" piping can go horizontaly in all different directions. So instead of drilling several wells, they can drill one well to do the work of four.
@walkingonhotice Yeah. All the problems with servicing and setting them up has pretty much done away with them. That was why I was so excited to find these! They are probably gone by now. The oil patch ain't what it used to be, for sure!
I know of two wells near Russell, Kansas, that were dual completion wells. Neither are pumping today, but one was a huge well with a 6' stroke (an old Lufkin with a skelton head) and the same hole also had a small Bethlehem. The Lufkin was pumping fromthe Arbuckle formation and was moving over 700 bbls of fluid per day (and making only about 5 bbls of oil per day).
@oldbogus They are called pads in western canada, They still suck, the pump and tank has to be 50 meters from the well and if your doing them all, i've seen 12 on pad thats a lot of fucking line pipe
When I first seen this video I wasnt sure for the fist few seconds if they were different wells, the polishing rods look like they are right on top of each other for a moment. But as I watched I seen the one on the right is set back further. Thanks for sharing.
Downhole, there are two pumps, each with its own string of pumprods. Each pumpjack is pumping from separate levels of oil strata. In Post, Texas there used to be a "octuple" well but it seems to be long gone.
Schlumberger"s defines this system thusly:
"A single wellbore having tubulars and equipment that enable production from two segregated zones."
The pumpjacks have enough clearance not to "bang their heads" but barely!
Oh, ok. I see. When I was 6 yrs old we moved from Cali to rural southern Kansas and there were pumpjacks all around, not to mention battery tanks and a refinery 10 miles down the road. Sounded like Indians banging wardrums every night! I live on an island now, and you definitely don't see anything like this. I searched for pumpjacks yesterday on a whim and got what I was looking for. Bless you for answering my questions. Have a good evening.
thanks for the dual completion showcase

DOGGR DOMS lets you know if the well is dual on the map. Probably because they are a PITA to get a workover unit on it.

they are hell to rig up a well service rig on

I can only imagine! Maybe that is why we don't see them much anymore.

Yes, they are two Lufkin units. They are stationary but very close.

What does dual completion mean why do they have two next to eachother
