Horizontal Drilling
What is horizontal drilling and how does it
work?
The
horizontal drilling or the directional drilling is quite easy to understand.
This
technology came to implementation around in the 1920’s and is advancing till
date.
In
earlier times only single directional drilling was possible.
In the
contrast, horizontal drilling allows the miners in the oil and gas industry to
drill at a wide range of angels.
This
enables the miners to dig a well thousands of feet down the earth as well as
achieve the accuracy of 90 degrees of angle from the vertical position.
What is
horizontal drilling?
Horizontal
drilling is simply a drilling process which allows you to drill at different
angles.
It works
with a bend near the bit with the help of steerable mud motor. This process
increases the total productivity in the extraction of oils and gases than
vertical drilling.
It
enables the miners to drill thousands of feet below the earth’s crust.
It is
responsible for the consistent increase in the ease and efficiency in the
mining industry.
With the
implementation of horizontal drilling now there is no need of extra digging of
wells.
On having
two or three sites from horizontal drilling may have the potential to equate
its productivity with twenty vertical wells.
Such
drilling reduces the health impacts on the people residing nearby.
Implementation
of horizontal drilling is benefiting in productivity and creating a safer
mining atmosphere.
