Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The ability to aim a bore in any direction can be extremely useful for either of two specific purposes: it can provide means of sealing off a "rogue" bore that has broken out of control; it offers great possibilities of economizing in surface pipework and in land acquisition costs, while at the same time giving access to parts of an aquifer that underlie difficult or inaccessible terrain. 12, record 1, English, - sidetracked%20hole

The term "directional drilling" usually refers to the method of drilling but can sometimes refer to the result obtained by this method. 13, record 1, English, - sidetracked%20hole

L'aptitude à diriger un forage dans n'importe quelle direction choisie peut être extrêmement utile pour chacun des deux objectifs spécifiques suivants : elle peut permettre d'obturer un forage «malicieux» qui s'est affranchi de tout contrôle [...]; elle offre de grandes possibilités de faire des économies en tuyauterie et en coûts d'acquisition de terres, tout en donnant accès à des parties d'un aquifère qui se trouvent en terrain difficile ou inaccessible. 9, record 1, French, - sondage%20d%C3%A9vi%C3%A9

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Directional Drilling. Drilling techniques have been perfected for deflecting the drill from the vertical in a gradual curve as the hole goes deeper. Such directional drilling can tap reserves that are inaccessible by vertical drilling. Directional drilling is used both for onshore and offshore operations. 5, record 2, English, - directional%20drilling

Forage d'un puits destiné à atteindre un objectif situé dans un emplacement directement inaccessible, ou à multiplier les puits à partir d'un forage initial. 7, record 2, French, - forage%20dirig%C3%A9
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Il n'est pas toujours possible d'implanter l'appareil de forage sur la verticale de l'objectif, en particulier lorsqu'un gisement se trouve sous un lac, un relief ardu, une mer. Parfois aussi des forages commencés verticalement doivent être déviés l'objectif étant décalé. [...] Dans tous ces cas, on a recours à la technique du forage dirigé. 8, record 2, French, - forage%20dirig%C3%A9
