The fuel injection system is composed of the fuel inlet line, the injection rail, the electrical connector and the fuel injector. A pintle cap sits on the bottom of the injector inside the cylinder. Pintle caps can become cracked or deformed and sometimes must be replaced. Replacing the pintle cap on the fuel injector requires the dismantling of the fuel rail system to reach the part.
I am not a mathematician, but $9000 divided by the depth, 275 ft, equals approx $33 per foot, not $100. That includes the cost of the pump, pressure tank, piping to house, wiring to and from house, all labor, and well test/water test. So the per foot cost of drilling is probably closer to $20. $100.00 per foot <br />That estimate seems extremely high, but I'm sure that the actual costs will depend greatly on the local market situation and geology. Here in northern Maine, my well was around $9000.00 complete.
The average total drilling cost in 2008 was roughly $2.5 to $3 million for a 15,000-foot well, while a 20,000-foot well often cost as much as $3.5 to $4 million. In 2013, the average total drilling cost for a 21,000-foot well is approximately $3 to $3.5 million.Oil and gas operators in the Bakken have seen EURs for dual laterals increase from an average of approximately 375,000 barrels of oil in 2008 to more than 600,000 barrels of oil equivalent in 2013.n addition to drilling an extra 5,000 feet or more, the time to drill a well to TD has decreased significantly. Five years ago, 16,000-foot wells were taking an average of 32 days to drill.
