Directional Drilling Explained
Purpose Of Directional Wells
Listed below are general purposes of Directional Drilled Wells
- Increasing the exposed section length through the reservoir by drilling through the reservoir at an angle
- Drilling into the reservoir where vertical access is difficult or not possible. For instance an oilfield under a town, under a lake, or underneath a difficult to drill formation
- Allowing more wellheads to be grouped together on one surface location can allow fewer rig moves, less surface area disturbance, and make it easier and cheaper to complete and produce the wells. For instance, on an oil platform or jacket offshore, up to about 40 wells can be grouped together. The wells will fan out from the platform into the reservoir below. This concept is being applied to land wells, allowing multiple subsurface locations to be reached from one pad, reducing environmental impact
- Drilling "relief wells" to relieve the pressure of a well producing without restraint (a "blow out"). In this scenario, another well could be drilled starting at a safe distance away from the blow out, but intersecting the troubled wellbore. Then, heavy fluid (kill fluid) is pumped into the relief wellbore to suppress the high pressure in the original wellbore causing the blowout

Are You An Experienced Roughneck or Driller or Rig Manager Looking For Work?
If so then we need your help! Roughneck City/Drilling Ahead has developed an application to help experienced hands find work and we need beta testers now.
Beta testing involves filling out a 5 minute online job application and choosing the companies from a list that you would like to submit your application to. You can select 1 company or all of them then hit "Send Applications" and your application for employment will be sent to the person(s) responsible for hiring in that company/area. In most cases these are not email addresses available to the public and a great deal of work has gone into getting these direct links to those responsible for hiring.
This is not a replacement for the companies required employment application-it's just a way to get your foot in the door and be noticed. I am sure most companies after reviewing your information will want to email you a company application and schedule an interview or phone call if they are interested.
Still this could be a great tool to get experienced hands in touch with the companies all over the USA & Canada that need them & it sure beats leaving your name and number on the wall at the local hamburger joint and waiting for someone to notice it.
We don't know exactly how this is going to be accepted or what the feedback is going to be-but if you're looking for a job and have *at least 1 year experience then this could be the tool that puts you back to work right now.
During this Beta testing period all applications will be previewed to make sure they meet the 1 year experience requirement and are filled out properly and completely before they are forwarded on to employers.
We have even created some text for you to help you populate areas of the form like "Job Duties and Responsibilites" or "Reason For Leaving Last Job" all you have to do is copy edit and paste this information into the form.
This application is 100% free to both applicant and employer and a service provided by Drilling Ahead. we are not recruiters and you will never be charged for this. We will be updating the application with more employers and adding more customizations in the future. Right now it is ready for Beta testing-We look forward to users feedback and suggestions
Please forward this message on to anyone that it may benefit-Thanks!
