World Record Partnership

Rig 32 & 33 Continue Great Performance 

Central Oklahoma Rigs 12-6-15 196a

Colby King-AEW Drilling Superintendent said it best, “In less than two years the AEW team along with the help of Latshaw have advanced this program into the global records books. The willingness of the hands to succeed as we push them forward mirror that of our beloved founder Aubrey.” That ability to inspire and motivate others will be the lasting legacy of Aubrey McClendon. The deep emotions of loss are felt by many. What determines the future is our daily efforts as Operators and Contractors, working as unified teams to advance the energy industry. We have been very fortunate to build a remarkable business relationship with the outstanding people of AEW’s Oklahoma operations. Those efforts have established both “Oklahoma & World drilling records”, including the most lateral footage drilled in a 24 hour period. Latshaw Rig 32 achieved this world record by drilling 8,197 ft in 24 hours on (12/8-12/9/15), while drilling the Duncan 2-11-18N-2E 1WH well.. Rig 33 drilled the fastest Mississippi well to date, the Kinder 4-16N-4E 2MH
(12/11-12/16/16), on a footage per day basis, completing the well in 6.4 days. Both Latshaw Rigs have now drilled over 500,000 feet of hole for AEW and continue to provide outstanding performance.  20160305_124100
