Redirectable multilateral drilling toolpath geometry: NaturaRecent Research Landscape

Deviation in borehole trajectory leads to inaccurate geological sampling and equipment damage. These mechanisms control the drilling angle and hole expansion to ensure precise core recovery.

What technical problems is Natura addressing in Redirectable multilateral drilling toolpath geometry?

Uncontrolled core sample detachment

(12)evidences

Mechanical instability during extraction leads to the loss of geological samples within the borehole. Preventing premature detachment ensures data integrity and reduces operational downtime caused by retrieving lost materials.

Uncontrolled lateral borehole deviation

(12)evidences

Standard drilling often fails to maintain precise trajectory and orientation during sample extraction. Improving directional control prevents sample contamination and ensures geological data integrity.

Subsurface access constraints

(11)evidences

Unstable or broken geological strata lead to borehole collapse and cross-layer fluid contamination. Preventing structural failure during drilling ensures sample integrity and environmental safety.
