A medium turn radius well has at least one section with a build rate angle of between 6° and 20° per 100 ft in the rotary mode, and as much as 35° per 100 ft in an oriented mode, in reaching horizontal.

Medium-radius wells are appropriate for areas that could benefit from horizontal drilling, but where long-radius methods are either unnecessary or impractical, as would be the case when lease boundary restrictions limit the well course. They are particularly applicable for re-entry wells, reef reservoirs, fractured reservoirs and reservoirs with potential for gas or water coning. 5, record 1, English, - medium%20radius%20horizontal%20well

[Géométrie des puits horizontaux.] Le rayon de courbure de la partie de trajectoire qui relie la section verticale à la section horizontale dépend de plusieurs facteurs : le déplacement horizontal recherché entre la localisation en surface et l'entrée dans le réservoir, la position verticale du début de la déviation («kick-off point»), la longueur de drain horizontal à forer, et les contraintes de complétion.

The process has been successfully tested by Syncrude in a pilot project, and appears to be an improvement over current surface mining and extraction processes.

Short and medium radius horizontal drilling techniques for coalbed methane recovery have been successfully demonstrated. Short radius technique was used by Gas Resources Institute(GRI)/Resource Enterprises, Inc. in the No. 3 Deep Seam gas well drilled into the Cameo "D" Coal Seam, Piceance Basin, Colorado. The Department of Energy and GRI used medium radius technique successfully at their Rocky Mountain No. 1 site in the Hanna Basin, Wyoming, targeting the Hanna coal seam at 363 foot depth. 1, record 13, English, - Piceance%20Basin

Most horizontal wells have targeted crude oil reservoirs. Its successful employment... has encouraged testing of it in many geographic regions and geologic situations. The technical objective of horizontal drilling is to provide economic benefits by exposing significantly more reservoir rock to the well bore surface than can be achieved via drilling of a conventional vertical well.... Horizontal bore hole length grew rapidly and horizontal displacements have now been extended to over 8, 000 feet. Some wells have featured multiple horizontal bores.... Based on curvature rate, the most commonly used classification for types of horizontal wells are as follows : ultra-short radius, short radius, medium radius and long radius. 1, record 15, English, - radius

[Géométrie des puits horizontaux.] Le rayon de courbure de la partie de trajectoire qui relie la section verticale à la section horizontale dépend de plusieurs facteurs : - le déplacement horizontal recherché entre la localisation en surface et l'entrée dans le réservoir, - la position verticale du début de la déviation («kick-off point»), - la longueur de drain horizontal à forer, - les contraintes de complétion. D'une manière générale les longs rayons de courbure, supérieurs à 250 mètres, permettent de forer de plus longues sections horizontales et facilitent la complétion. Les longs rayons de courbure sont surtout utilisés pour les puits de développement alors que les courts rayons s'appliquent essentiellement aux opérations de recomplétion. 1, record 15, French, - rayon%20de%20courbure

Winches. A device used to wind a cable on a drum is called a ’winch’. In the simple form used for drawing water from a well the force applied to the crank is to the weight lifted as the radius of the drum is to the length of the crank.
