Conventional Technology
z Directional Drilling Motor + MWD behind
z requires oriented drilling to change
drilling direction
– reduced rate of penetration
– impaired cutting transportation
– poor hole cleaning
z directional changes are getting difficult in
long or complex wells
z often roller cone bits required to carry out
directional work
