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 1, 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 1, French, - forage%20dirig%C3%A9
Record number: 1, 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 1, French, - forage%20dirig%C3%A9
