The art of directional drilling has been around for more than a hundred years now. In this drilling method, the direction and deviation of a well bore is controlled to reach a pre-determined underground location. This method is widely used in applications where vertical drilling is not enough. Some of the most important applications of directional drilling have been discussed below.

  • Directional drilling is highly preferred in situations where the reservoir is inaccessible because of natural or man-made obstructions.

  • Drilling multiple wells from single offshore structures using directional drilling is not only economically feasible but also saves drillers a lot of time.

  • Directional drilling techniques are also used to drill relief wells to solve the purpose of killing blow outs.

  • This technique can also be used to straighten crooked holes.

  • Side-tracking can also be executed with the help of directional drilling to bypass an obstruction in a well-bore.

  • Problems faced when drilling in salt domes can also be deal with by using directional drilling techniques.

  • Directional drilling makes it easier to drill vertically through even steeply inclined fault planes.

  • Directional drilling is among the most economical ways of exploiting offshore locations.
