Faced with tapping reserves located in increasingly tough environments, the petroleum industry has looked to advanced directional drilling techniques, and the well placement and formation evaluation tools that accompany them, to reduce the risk and cost while improving the financial return of such endeavors. Whether operating in deepwater, environmentally sensitive areas, remote locations, or mature regions, the precision, reliability and real-time capability of directional drilling today are making reserves more technically and financially viable. Particularly driving today's directional drilling advancements is the proliferation of accurate downhole data being acquired and disseminated to all involved parties.
