Deviated wells drilled from multi-well pads are similar to deviated wells drilled from an offshore drilling center. Wells with a common surface location are drilled to different bottom-hole targets identified by geologists and reservoir engineers. There are many uses for deviated and horizontal (or single-lateral) wells. These include to:

1 Introduction: Horizontal Drilling. The process of horizontal drilling deviated wells has existed for the better part of a century in any widely acknowledged fashion. Disputes over oil well production at the turn of the 20 th century indicate early uses of this technique. Once established as a repeatable means of extracting resources (natural ...

The cosine is the ratio of the True Vertical Depth (TVD) compared to the Measured Depth (MD). For example the Cosine (COS) of a 45 degree angle is 0.7071. This means for every foot of mesured depth the true vertical depth is only 0.7071 feet. Example: A well is deviated from the surface at a 30 degree angle. The MD is 800 feet.

Mar 01, 2020· Among many issues encountered in a complex well trajectory, poor hole cleaning is the most common problem, which occurs mainly in the deviated and horizontal section of oil and gas wells (Xiaofeng, 2013). Inefficient hole cleaning affects the penetration rate, and consequently, causes fluid loss, lost circulation, and stuck pipe.

The benefits of directional drilling are widely known – increased reservoir exposure and greater production. However, the practice can pose formation evaluation challenges in high angle and horizontal wells, making traditional petrophysical interpretation techniques harder to apply because of geometric effects on the data.
