Selection of Surveying Method for Trajectory Design at Well X

Technology regards to Oil and Gas industries has developed very fast on par with the research and development activity. Back to 1930s, directional drilling is not a very common method for drilling, but not for nowadays especially on the offshore field, many operators prefer to use the directional dr...
