    Directional drilling equipment is essential in the gas and oil industry and has been since the early twentieth century, remaining more or less the same (conceptually) in the intervening years.

    What is Directional Drilling?

    Directional drills are mainly used to drill gas or oil from the ground.

    As the name suggests, directional drilling allows drilling for things like oil and gas at various angles, rather than just vertical (straight down), which greatly increases the efficiency and return of a drilling operation. It also allows for a cheaper operation, as many formations can be reached from one drilling platform, unlike with vertical drilling where a drill would have to be placed directly over the formation. This technology allows for reservoirs to be tapped by a single drilling location, even if that location is miles away from the reservoir itself. Horizontal directional drilling equipment allows for the drilling of wells at up to eighty degree angles. Using a horizontal directional drilling machine can also allow for the drilling of wells or holes under obstacles, such as bodies of water. Horizontal drilling can also be used to pull a medium (such as piping) through the hole it has drilled.
