Abstract:Maintaining verticality in today’s challenging drilling applications is of critical concern. The vertical section is increasingly important in anti-collision situations, as well as in extended reach directional wells where weight transfer through tortuous vertical sections can make the difference in calling Target Depth (TD) early of not. Excessive dogleg severity compromises well completion and adds costs that erode the profitability of operations and ultimately production of the well.
