Benefits Of Using Directional Drilling Reamers

By Donna Stone


Direction drilling can be described as the practice of drilling non-vertical wells in contrary to the belief that most held that oil and water wells are vertical. This knowledge can be accredited to helping with the discovery and manufacture of directional drilling reamers that are now used all over the world my underground operators in oilfields, utility installations and in direction boring. Read the article below to explain more on advantages of the directional drilling.

Using these drills has not only made the work easier and efficient but it also has a lot of other benefits that make this practice favourable to many. Drilling of these wells stopped being vertical and started being directionally drilled for several purposes and it is used to target gas and oil reservoir and the practice can be divided into four main groups.

One known benefit for the use of this equipment is they expose a more open ground of the reservoir as with the use of direction drillers one can focus on an angle that will not be penetrative to others properties and when directed properly and precisely it gets the most of the resource that is being targeted without having to cause much impact on the environment in question.

The use of reamers is especially an advantage to a driller attempting to penetrate a reservoir that is not vertically situated or is impossible to actually penetrate. This type of regions could maybe be a region that is situated in the middle of a town or even an area that is already populated, a reservoir under a water body or could be an area that is hard to drill or has a hard rock formation.

During boring, its best advised seeking professional help so as certain factors are determined like what to group together and what to drill separately. When a number of wellheads get grouped together then this means it becomes automatically cheaper and faster to complete the task with fewer disturbances to the environment involved as well as few rig moves and one pad serves multiple wells.

With direction boring and use of appropriate reamers, any point of a reservoir can be accessed even the undersides and this allows productive sands to be put to the best use possible. This is so because it allows the drillers to know where to target and with the best knowledge when the highest stratigraphic points get accessed hence the productive sands get completed at the highest levels.

This practice of boring is not one that comes without a fair share of challenges of its own and the one that arises concerns to most is the damage it causes to the environment there being occasional spillages and also sinkholes may arise due to the weakening of the soil structure although it has reduced over time.

It is hence advised to take precautionary measures when mining and boring as accidents are prone to happen as well as spillages. The environment also ought to be protected whenever boring is happening. New technologies have also made the practice easier and bearable.
