Advantages of Horizontal Drilling
 Modified By host on 5/7/2007 3:17:33 AM)
The application of horizontal drilling technology to the discovery and productive development of oil reserves has become a frequent, worldwide event over the past years.

Most oil and gas reservoirs are much more extensive in their horizontal (areal) dimensions than in their vertical (thickness) dimension. By drilling that portion of a well which intersects such a reservoir parallel to its plane of more extensive dimension, horizontal drilling’s immediate technical objective is achieved. That objective is to expose significantly more reservoir rock to the wellbore surface than would be the case with a conventional vertical well penetrating the reservoir perpendicular to its plane of more extensive dimension. The desire to attain this immediate technical objective is almost always motivated by the intended achievement of more important objectives (such as avoidance of water production) related to specific physical characteristics of the target reservoir.
