An introductory text on directional and horizontal drilling and related activities. This book is for anyone interested in directional and horizontal drilling. It should be very helpful to beginning employees as well as to personnel in other sectors of the oil and gas industry, including those in related fields such as service and supply companies. Read the book to learn general information about directional and horizontal drilling, scan it for special subjects, or use it as a reference or textbook.

The material is presented in nontechnical language with explanations of common terminology.
The text follows the natural sequence of events; new subjects build upon prior material in a building-block fashion. This serves a dual purpose. Those less-experienced can start at the beginning, laying a foundation and building upon it. More advanced readers may go directly to subjects of interest.
Each chapter starts with a summary for a quick review and ends with a comprehensive list of references as sources of additional information. Specific topics can be found easily from the Table of Contents or in the expanded Index.
