Horizontal drilling technologies have been heralded by many as the gr eatest advances since the conception of the rotary drilling bit. Horizonta l drilling now accounts for a significant percent of active onshore wells in the U.S., especially for exploiting shale gas resource and seems to be increasing every year. Horizontal drilling allows for an increase in the r ecoverable petroleum in a given formation, and even increases the producti on in fields previously thought of as marginal or mature. Horizontal drill ing also allows for more economical drilling, and less impact on environme ntally sensitive areas. However, there are many technical challenges is su ccessfully drilling and completing a long horizontal well. \; The pres entation will outline some of the main differences between drilling a vert ical and horizontal well and prescribe remedies to overcome these challeng es to successfully exploit unconventional/shale gas resources to meet futu re global energy needs.
