Basic Introduction To Directional & Horizontal Well Drilling

Directional drilling is a technique that allows you to drill a well that deviates from the vertical axis. This means that you can control the direction and angle of the drill bit, and reach targets that are not directly below the surface. Directional drilling is useful for several reasons, such as avoiding obstacles, accessing multiple reservoirs from a single location, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing well performance.
Horizontal drilling is a special type of directional drilling that involves drilling a well that has a horizontal or near-horizontal section. This means that you can drill along the reservoir layer, and expose more of the wellbore to the formation. Horizontal drilling is beneficial for several reasons, such as increasing contact area, improving recovery factor, reducing water and gas coning, and enhancing well stimulation.
