Regarding Valeura’s first-ever multi-lateral well, the company constructed within the wellbore NYB-02ST1 a complex junction point from which two separate horizontal production legs were drilled in turn, each targeting a different reservoir interval and were recorded as two separate development wells.

The firm claims that this was the first multi-lateral with such level of complexity ever attempted in Thailand. The two lateral development intervals are now delivering oil production from two separate development targets, while occupying only one well slot on the wellhead facility.
