Title: Horizontal Well Drilling Technology
English: horizontal well drilling technology
Explanation: Directional drilling technology that uses special downhole power tools and measurement-while-drilling instruments to drill a well with an inclination angle greater than 86 ° and maintain this angle to drill a certain length of well. In the development of oil and gas fields, horizontal wells can increase the length of the target layer, increase the drainage area, and increase oil and gas production several times. Horizontal well drilling technology includes measurement-while-drilling technology, wellbore trajectory control technology, well wall stabilization technology, and drilling and completion fluid technology. The smaller the radius of curvature of the transition from the vertical well section to the horizontal well section, the more difficult the construction.
Definition: Long radius (2 ° -6 ° / 30m, radius: 300m-900m)
Medium radius (8 ° -20 ° / 30m, radius: 86m-215m)
Short radius (5 ° -10 ° / m, radius: 10m-20m)
