[pdf] Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling, directional boring (horizontal directional drilling - HDD), and surface in seam (SIS), which horizontally intersects a vertical bore target to extract coal bed methane.. HistoryMany prerequisites enabled this suite of technologies to become productive. Probably, the first requirement was the realization that , or , do not necessarily need to be vertical. This realization. .
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 w.
