Kako funkcionie usmereno buenje?

Usmereno buenje je od dvadesetih godina prolog veka bilo sastavni deo naftne industrije. Iako je tehnologija napredovala
tokom vremena, koncept usmerenog buenja ostaje isti: buotine su pod raznim uglovima, nisu samo vertikalne, kako bi
dosegli vie rezervi nafte i gasa, samim tim i poboljali proizvodnju istih. Uz to, usmereno buenje omoguava buenje
vertikalnih buotina sa veim brojem ravanja u zemlji kako bi se umanjio uticaj buenja na okolinu.
Poboljani buei senzori i tehnologije globalnog pozicioniranja su pomogle velikom napredku tehnologije usmerenog
buenja. Danas, ugao buee glave je direktno kontrolisan sistemima sa intenzivnom preciznou, nudei naftnoj industriji
razna reenja za zaobilaenje potekoa kod buenja, poveavanje efikasnosti i smanjivanje trokova.
Alati koji se koriste za usmerena buenja su klinovi za skretanje, aparati za 3D merenja, dubinski motori i specializovane
buee glave ili dleta.
Sada, sa jedne lokacije, razne buotine se mogu izbuiti u bezbroj uglova, doseui naftne rezerve horizontalno udaljene
miljama ili vie od milje ispod povrine zemlje.
esto se buotina koja nije vertikalna bui tako to se buea glava usmeri u odreenom smeru. Za kompleksniji nain
usmerenog buenja koristi se usmeriva blizu buee glave, kao i dubinski motori koji su upravljivi.

How Does Directional Drilling Work?

Directional drilling has been an integral part of the oil and gas industry since the 1920s. While the technology has improved
over the years, the concept of directional drilling remains the same: drilling wells at multiple angles, not just vertically, to
better reach and produce oil and gas reserves. Additionally, directional drilling allows for multiple wells from the same
vertical well bore, minimizing the wells' environmental impact.
Improvements in drilling sensors and global positioning technology have helped to make vast improvements in directional
drilling technology. Today, the angle of a drillbit is controlled with intense accuracy through real-time technologies,
providing the industry with multiple solutions to drilling challenges, increasing efficiency and decreasing costs.
Tools utilized in achieving directional drills include whipstocks, three-dimensional measuring devices, mud motors and
specialized drillbits.
Now, from a single location, various wells can be drilled at myriad angles, tapping reserves miles away and more than a
mile below the surface.
Many times, a non-vertical well is drilled by simply pointing the drill in the direction it needs to drill. A more complex way
of directional drilling utilizes a bend near the bit, as well as a downhole steerable mud motor.
