Rethink Drilling. Rethink Impact.
Rokk Field Trial:
Revolutionizing Multilateral
Well Technology
Rokk Energy Technologies is deploying its breakthrough Pad-Free™ Multilateral System in partnership with Kiwetinohk Energy—to unlock higher productivity, drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enable reliable well re-entry solutions for unconventional reservoirs.
Tackling Industry Challenges
Traditional horizontal wells in tight formations like the Montney face rising costs, declining productivity, and increasing regulatory pressure to cut emissions and minimize land disturbance. Existing multilateral technologies have struggled with fracture-stimulated, fully supported junctions—until now.
The Rokk Pad-Free™ Solution
Our patented Casing Exit Coupling (CEX) and Lateral Biasing Device (LBD) create robust, fully cemented TAML Level 5 junctions that enable:
-
Cost-effective multi-lateral fracturing with independent zone access
-
Reliable future well re-entry for stimulation or additional laterals
-
Operational validation in Alberta’s Montney formation
Field Trial Overview and Successes
-
Successful retrofit of CEX and LBD in a producing Montney well, drilling and cementing a 3,000-meter lateral from the main bore
-
All shop and field tests met or exceeded technical KPIs, handling 15,000 PSI frac pressures with full mechanical isolation
-
Delivered in partnership with Kiwetinohk Energy Corp., generously supported by a $5 million investment from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA)
Emissions Reduction Alberta’s Role and Impact
The Rokk Pad-Free™ technology field trial is receiving significant funding and support from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), an important endorsement and feature of the project. ERA’s investment, totaling $5 million, is a key element enabling Rokk and its industry partner (Kiwetinohk Energy Corp.) to develop, field test, and demonstrate this innovative multilateral well system for unconventional reservoirs in Alberta.
ERA’s Role in the Project
-
Project Funding: ERA’s financial support covers a large portion of total project costs, directly facilitating the design, prototype development, and full field trial execution of the Pad-Free™ system in a real-world setting.
-
Commercialization Pathway: The ERA-backed field demonstration is designed to prove the system’s mechanical integrity and emission-reduction benefits, thus accelerating both the technical validation and adoption of Rokk’s technology across Alberta and beyond.
-
Market Confidence: Backing by ERA provides independent validation that strengthens market confidence for producers who are considering early adoption. ERA’s support signals that this innovation aligns with Alberta’s broader emissions-reduction and industry modernization goals.
Impact of ERA Support
-
The project benefits from structured milestones, progress monitoring, and reporting, all requirements tied to ERA funding and oversight.
-
Funding from ERA enables Rokk to share demonstration results widely, including GHG savings and cost performance data, thus supporting industry knowledge transfer and future scaling.
-
The partnership is featured in all project documentation and is integral to all communications regarding the field trial’s progress and achievements.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
-
Up to 66% reduction in GHG emissions per produced barrel by consolidating laterals and eliminating redundant wellhead equipment.
-
Targeting over 450,000 tonnes CO₂e annual abatement in Alberta by 2050 with broad adoption.
-
Each multilateral well replaces three traditional horizontals, significantly shrinking surface footprint and reducing steel and cement usage.
-
Approximately 50% cost savings over equivalent traditional well programs (capital and O&M).
-
Re-entry technology further lowers plugging liabilities and unlocks value in legacy wells.
Market Opportunity & Strategic Partnerships
-
Over 197,000 existing Alberta wells, with up to 30% suitable for retrofit with Rokk’s re-entry XR technology.
-
Broad applicability extending across Canada, the US, and Middle East, with strategic partnerships in place with Import Tool Ltd. and NESR.
-
Ready for deployment in both new drill programs and re-entry projects.
