Shoreline Drilling.
In the case where a reservoir lies offshore but quite close to land, the most
economical way to exploit the reservoir may be to drill directional wells
from a land rig on the coast.
These are only some of the many applications of directional drilling.
Although it is not a new concept, one type of directional drilling, horizontal
drilling, is the fastest growing branch of drilling, with major advances
occurring in tools and techniques. As with directional drilling, there are
numerous specific applications for horizontal drilling.
