Horizontal drilling, often called directional drilling has revolutionized the way that oil and gas wells are drilled. The reason that horizontal drilling in changing the oil and gas business is that a well drilled sideways through a zone of oil and gas bearing rock, will produce many more times what a vertical well would.
