How Does Directional Drilling Work?
Improvements in drilling sensors and global positioning technology have helped to make vast improvements in directional drilling. Today, the angle of a drillbit is controlled with intense accuracy through real-time technologies, providing the industry with multiple solutions to drilling challenges, increasing efficiency and decreasing costs.
It can be steered and tracked and so is useful when there are services in the area.
It can be used for longer distanced bores up to 250m.
There is no need for send and receive holes to be dug in advance as it can start from above the ground and be directed back up to ground level at the end of the bore.
