Drilling of directional wells in the fields of Western Turkmenistan

Abstract

The article focuses on the experience of drilling directional wells and cluster drilling in the oil and gas fields of Western Turkmenistan. The paper defines the direction of development of technology for drilling directional wells, taking into account the development of technology at the present time. Proposals are given and equipment, as well as materials possible for cluster drilling of directional wells in the Southwestern part of Turkmenistan are identified. Applied technical and technological innovations that meet international standards have ensured the successful completion of cluster drilling of a number of directional wells in the fields of Southwestern Turkmenistan. This work will mark the beginning of the development of cluster drilling of deep directional wells with abnormally high reservoir pressures and will create an impetus for technical re-equipment, as well as organizational restructuring of cluster drilling on a scientific basis.
