Horizontal Directional Drilling
This is a subset of the more general term ‘directional drilling’, where the departure of the wellbore from the vertical exceeds 85 degrees or more. Some horizontal wells are so designed that after reaching true 90-degree horizontal, the wellbore may actually start drilling upward. In such cases, the angle past 90 degrees is continued, such as 95 degrees, rather than reporting it as a deviation from vertical, which would then be 85 degrees. Because a horizontal well typically penetrates a greater length of the reservoir, it can offer a significant production improvement over a vertical well.
Transmark eds uses two types of mud motors: the traditional and extremely solid Blackmax Mudmotor and the WENZEL Mudmotor, for an even faster drilling result.
