Wells are drilled directionally for several purposes: • Increasing the exposed section length through the reservoir by drilling through the reservoir at an angle.• Drilling into the reservoir where vertical access is difficult or not possible. For instance an oilfield under a town, under a lake, or underneath a difficult-to-drill formation.
[pdf] This article lists the main components of a onshore . rigs have similar elements, but are configured with a number of different drilling systems to suit drilling in the marine environment. The equipment associated with a rig is to some extent dependent on the type of rig but typically includes at least some of the items listed below.
