How does directional drilling work?

Directional drilling works by drilling multiple wellbores from a central well site facility. A directional driller uses specialized tools and technology to control the direction of drills and to collect oil and gas for miles vertically, horizontally, and other angles. A horizontal driller can reach extreme angles—between 80 to 90 degrees or more—and can increase production 20 times more than a vertical drill. Directional drilling uses GPS technology and other machinery to find reserves and collect oil and gas with minimal environmental interference.
