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.
