NAICS Code 213111-05 Description (8-Digit)

Oil Well Directional Drilling is a specialized technique used in the oil and gas industry to extract oil and gas from reservoirs that are difficult to access using traditional vertical drilling methods. This technique involves drilling a wellbore at an angle to the vertical, allowing for access to oil and gas reserves that are located beneath other landowners' property or beneath environmentally sensitive areas. The process of directional drilling involves the use of advanced technology and equipment to steer the drill bit in the desired direction, allowing for precise placement of the wellbore.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 213111-05 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Oil well directional drilling has been around since the early 1920s, but it wasn't until the 1980s that it became a widely used technique in the oil and gas industry. The first directional well was drilled in 1929 in Texas, and by the 1930s, directional drilling had become a common practice in the industry. In the 1970s, the development of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) technology allowed for more precise directional drilling, and in the 1980s, the introduction of rotary steerable systems (RSS) made it possible to drill more complex wells. In recent years, the industry has seen advancements in downhole drilling motors, drill bits, and other technologies that have made directional drilling more efficient and cost-effective. In the United States, the use of directional drilling has grown significantly in the past few decades. In the 1990s, directional drilling accounted for less than 20% of all wells drilled in the country, but by the early 2000s, that number had risen to over 50%. Today, directional drilling is used in the majority of new wells drilled in the US, and the industry continues to see advancements in technology that make it possible to drill longer, more complex wells.
