Abstract

Directional drilling is older than the currently ubiquitous horizontal drilling technology. However, advances in mastering directional technology are most significant in the post horizontal well surge era. It's because the topic became relevant due to the fact that every horizontal well has a directional component to it. Advances in directional drilling are related to the advances in horizontal drilling but a separate chapter is presented because most of the advances in directional drilling can be traced back to technologies from many decades ago during the golden era of oil and gas. If properly evaluated, all advances in directional drilling technologies are relevant for both vertical and horizontal well drilling.
