Benefits Of Using Directional Drilling Reamers

By Donna Stone


For a very long time, people have benefited from underground mining activities be it mining or waterhole digging. This can be referred to as boring and since it is not necessarily vertical then it can be referred to as directional drilling. For direction boring to be successful, directional drilling reamers have to be used to make the practice easier, efficient and accessible. Keep reading the article below for more information.

Using these drills has not only made the work easier and efficient but it also has a lot of other benefits that make this practice favourable to many. Drilling of these wells stopped being vertical and started being directionally drilled for several purposes and it is used to target gas and oil reservoir and the practice can be divided into four main groups.

An advantage that is all thanks to the use of boring reamers is the fact that more surface of the reservoir that is to be drilled is exposed especially since when professionally done and an accurate angle is employed then the driller not only covers a broad range but is also able to get the most out the area being drilled and at the same time can avoid evading others private spaces avoiding legal issues.

Another crucial benefit as to why the use of this equipment is that whenever one is attempting to drill into a hard reservoir that is not vertical then the reamers make it possible. They are built in many different ways to deal with a region depending on its nature. For instance I a populated area one will need special equipment for that as well as when drilling under a water body or on a hard surface.

When a professional is involved when boring is taking place then this serves an advantage as he/she can help determine which wellheads can be grouped together reducing both the costs of equipment and of production. This also ensures that the activity has the least impact on the surface under work while ensuring there are fewer rig moves. Also makes it possible for one pad to serve many wells.

With direction boring and use of appropriate reamers, any point of a reservoir can be accessed even the undersides and this allows productive sands to be put to the best use possible. This is so because it allows the drillers to know where to target and with the best knowledge when the highest stratigraphic points get accessed hence the productive sands get completed at the highest levels.

Although the practice has numerous benefits most of them being economic it also does have a fair share of disadvantages like it is not always the environment remains unharmed. Another common issue is boring will often result in stealing of oil and this can even cause conflict among nations, and in worse scenarios, countries might even go to war with each other.

Drillers and miners should do what not only benefits them but should also work with what is also beneficial to the environment and the community that resides near the sites if any by using the technologies that have been developed over time to produce the best results.
