Extending the reach of drilling: better wellbore trajectory and torque & drag models
Extended reach [ER] drilling refers to the practice of directionally drilling to a given geological target located at a significant horizontal distance [horizontal departure] from the drilling rig. The ability to perform complex ER operations has become increasingly important in recent years, as …
