directional drilling techniques

Directional drilling is a technique used in drilling wells where the drill bit is guided to follow a specific path underground, rather than going straight down. This allows operators to reach targeted underground areas that might be difficult to access directly. Using specialized equipment and sensors, the drill can curve or change direction during the process. This method is useful for extracting oil or gas from specific locations, avoiding obstacles, or reducing surface impacts. It offers greater precision and flexibility compared to traditional vertical drilling, optimizing resource extraction while minimizing environmental disturbance.
