They're been drilling long reach wells for years - it was really developed by Elf, the French stat owned oil company now part of Total over 40 years ago.
The longest horizontal well is ADNOC Drilling's well at the Upper Zakum concession in the UAE, which stretches for 15,240 meters (50,000 feet = 9.47 miles).
