2. Directional drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_drilling

   Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling, directional boring (horizontal directional drilling - HDD), and surface in seam (SIS), which horizontally intersects a vertical bore ...

3. Directional boring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_boring

   Directional boring, also referred to as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a minimal impact trenchless method of installing underground utilities such as pipe, conduit, or cables in a relatively shallow arc or radius along a prescribed underground path using a surface-launched drilling rig. Directional boring offers significant ...

4. Rotary steerable system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_steerable_system

   A rotary steerable system (RSS) is a form of drilling technology used in directional drilling. It employs the use of specialized downhole equipment to replace conventional directional tools such as mud motors.

5. Measurement while drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_while_drilling

   The primary use of real-time surveys is in directional drilling. For the directional driller to steer the well towards a target zone, he must know where the well is going, and what the effects of his steering efforts are. [citation needed] MWD tools also generally provide toolface measurements to aid in directional drilling using downhole mud ...

6. Extended reach drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Reach_Drilling

   Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) is directional drilling of very long non-vertical wells. The aims of ERD are: a) to reach a larger area from one surface drilling location, and b) to keep a well in a reservoir for a longer distance in order to maximize its productivity and drainage capability.

7. Gyrodata - Wikipedia
