Drilling Process

Antero drills using vertical, directional, and horizontal drilling technology depending on the application. In the Marcellus and Woodford Shales, we drill primarily horizontal wells. In the Piceance Mesaverde Sands and Mancos Shale, we primarily drill vertical and directional wells.

Learn more about the drilling process for both vertical and horizontal wells.
