According to NIDC, Caretaker of Special Operations Directorate of NIDC Mehran Alipour said the operations were performed on 34 oil wells in oil-rich regions of the country including one in South Azadegan joint oilfield.
Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical wells. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling (horizontal directional drilling), directional boring, and surface in seam (SIS), which horizontally intersects a vertical well target to extract coal bed methane.
