This talk explores the technologies making longer laterals possible, including mud motors, PDC bits, rotary steerable systems, MWD/LWD technology, and real-time geosteering.\n\nFrom four-mile laterals to AI-driven and increasingly autonomous drilling, where is the industry headed next?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o3GQs1HcyCopojdKIvPB79-pgKa1KPJKpBDZmLV5kec/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zOGI4/MGM0OGNmMWJhMzhm/MGIzMjQwZDgyZTE1/ZWNkMi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
