الحفر المائل (الحفر غير الرأسي)ـ
Explanation:
The intentional deviation of a wellbore from the path it would naturally take. This is accomplished through the use of whipstocks, bottomhole assembly (BHA) configurations, instruments to measure the path of the wellbore in three-dimensional space, data links to communicate measurements taken downhole to the surface, mud motors and special BHA components and drill bits. The directional driller also exploits drilling parameters such as weight on bit and rotary speed to deflect the bit away from the axis of the existing wellbore. In some cases, such as drilling steeply dipping formations or unpredictable deviation in conventional drilling operations, directional-drilling techniques may be employed to ensure that the hole is drilled vertically. While many techniques can accomplish this, the general concept is simple: point the bit in the direction that one wants to drill. The most common way is through the use of a bend near the bit in a downhole steerable mud motor. The bend points the bit in a direction different from the axis of the wellbore when the entire drillstring is not rotating. By pumping mud through the mud motor, the bit turns while the drillstring does not rotate, allowing the bit to drill in the direction it points. When a particular wellbore direction is achieved, that direction may be maintained by rotating the entire drillstring (including the bent section) so that the bit does not drill in a single direction off the wellbore axis, but instead sweeps around and its net direction coincides with the existing wellbore. Rotary steerable tools allow steering while rotating, usually with higher rates of penetration and ultimately smoother boreholes.

الحفر الاتجاهى الأفقي


Explanation:
-لقد تطورت تكنولوجيا اليوم الى الحد الذي يجعل من صناعة النفط العراقية وكأنها تعيش في وسط غريب عنها تماما، او كأنسان وجد نفسه فجأة وسط مجتمع يختلف عنه في اللغة وفي كل شيء من حياته.
فمن حفر الابار، الاتجاهية (الافقية) الى مراقبة المكامن من غرف على منصات بحرية الى الغمر بالبوليمر والآبار الذكية (Smart Wells) والتقنية الجديدة للتصوير الزلزالي (Seismic) التي تتيح رؤية عالية التطور لديناميات المكمن النفطي خلال دقائق بدلا من الشهور التي كانت تستغرقها المهمة نفسها منذ سنوات مضت.
-تتولى شركة شلومبرجيه أعمال توفير أدوات وخدمات تسجيل بيانات البئر أثناء الحفر LWD، والقياس أثناء الحفر MWD والحفر الاتجاهي DD لشركة شل مصر في عمليات الحفر التي تنفذها سفينة الحفر (ديب ووتر إكسبيديشن).

آسف، الاتجاهي وليس الاتجاهى
بالتوفيق إن شاء الله

agree  Fathy Shehatto: الحفر النفقي/ الأفقي / الاتجاهي -يختلف الحفر النفقي عن الحفر التقليدي (العمودي والمائل)،لأن البئر المحفور بطريقة الحفر الأفقي يعادل هندسيا عدة آبار محفورة بالطريقة التقليدية أو المائلة

الحفر الزاوي المائل للأبار


Explanation:
تقنية تستخدم للحفر لأبار البترول أو إطفاء البئر المشتعل بالحفر والتفجير للتربة لإغلاق البئر بزاوية انحراف قدرها 45 درجة
واستخدمت هذه التقنية بشكل جيد لإطفاء ابار البترول المشتعلة في الكويت أبان الحرب العراقية ألأمريكية بعد اشتعال ابار النفط

directional drilling
الحفر الإتّجاهي


Explanation:
و يطلق عليه كذلك الحفر المائل slant drilling و هذا اذا كان خارج مجال صناعة النّفط.
و يتمثل هذا في الحفر الجانبي لماكنات حفر آبار النفط حيث يتم انجاز ثقوب جانبية لمحور الحفر ليتسرب عبرها النفط الى هذا الاخير.
