Summary: Applications of Directional Drilling

• Now we can drill complex well profiles in complex geological structures.

• Drilling a directional well is economic: one well can intersect multiple targets.
• Drill multiple wells from same location
• Less environmental effect
• Horizontal wells will increase productivity and reservoir drainage.
