Directional Wells

• Horizontal
• Short Radius
• Medium Radius
• Long Radius
• Slant
• Straight, but at a predetermined angle
• Deviated
• S Curve

MWD-Measurement While Drilling

• Real time directional surveys
• Rotational speed of the drillstring
• Mud flow volume
• Downhole temperature
• Torque and Weight on Bit

10
LWD-Logging While Drilling

• Measures
• Formation density
• Porosity
• Resisitivity
• Inclination at the Drill Bit
• Magnetic Resonance
• Formation Pressure

Advantages

• Multiple wellheads on single pad
• Less surface and environmental disturbance
• Less roads and ROWs to maintain
• Drilling and production waste centralized to one
  site
• Centralization of facilities
• Lower operating costs

Three wells-All directional to the same formation
17
Four wells-One straight well and three
directional wells-Same formation
