ModernDayDrillingA short introductionControlled directional drillingWhatisdirectionaldrillingdirectional or Slant hole drilling. The technique of controlleddrilling at an angle from the vertical by deflecting the drill bit.This is the major drilling application offshoreControlled directional drilling makes it possible toreach subsurface areas (targets) laterally remote from the point where the bit enters the earth.PlatformsThe most common application of directional drillingtechniques is in offshore drilling. Many oil and gas deposits around the world are situated beyond the reach of land based rigs.To drill a large number of vertical wells offshore would be both costly and impractical.A more conventional approach for an offshore oilfield would be to install a fixed platformto the seabed, allowing many directional wells to be drilled with bottomhole locations of thecarefully planed and spaced for optimum recovery. As many as 36 well may be drilled from one locationStraighten crooked holesBefore Directional drilling was excepted as a techniques we us today it was used to “straighten crooked holes”.In other words, if a deviation occurs in a well that wassupposed to be vertical, various techniques wereto bring the well back to vertical.usedCement plug set andhole reamed to straighten it outThis was one of the earliest applications of directional drilling and an application that isstill used to-day on almost every well drill.Side TrackingOften while drilling the well we will encounter problems, problems that sometime means having to leave tools in the well.If the tools can not be removed and we need to continuedrilling we must go around them we call this “SideWell PathTracking”Point ofdeflectionobstructionSidetrackOver the years there has been some very clever side track. But on average a side trackis just a means of bypassing such obstacle as drilling assemblys that have been backed off after the string became stuck or junk that could not be retrie
