Wells are drilled directionally for several purposes: • Increasing the exposed section length through the reservoir by drilling through the reservoir at an angle.• Drilling into the reservoir where vertical access is difficult or not possible. For instance an oilfield under a town, under a lake, or underneath a difficult-to-drill formation.
[pdf] The PACE®-M800 rig also features faster, more advanced walking capabilities for multi-well pad drilling. It is ideal for drilling up to four wells per pad and moves twice as fast as the PACE®-X800 rig. Fe.
