Directional drilling is a specialized drilling technique that involves drilling a wellbore at an angle or curve to the vertical. This technique requires specialized equipment and tools for effective implementation. Some of the equipment used in directional drilling include:
Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS): These systems provide continuous steering control while drilling, allowing for precise direction changes during drilling operations.
Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) Tools: These tools provide real-time information on wellbore trajectory, formation characteristics, and other downhole data to guide directional drilling decisions.
Mud Motors: These motors utilize high-pressure drilling mud to power the drill bit and enable it to drill non-vertical holes more efficiently.
Whipstocks: These tools are inserted into the wellbore to deflect the drill bit at a predetermined angle, creating a window in the casing or liner through which the well can be drilled in a new direction.
Downhole Drilling Assemblies: These assemblies consist of various tools, including stabilizers, drill collars, and subs, that help ensure proper hole angle control and stability during drilling operations.
Directional Drilling Software: This software helps engineers plan and design well paths, optimize drilling parameters, and monitor downhole conditions during drilling operations.
Vigor is deeply involved in the oil and gas industry and has a lot of experience and practical examples in downhole tools, and the following are some of the technical requirements for directional drilling tools in a bidding document (for reference only).
