Perhaps this ought to become a list? Rodface (talk) 21:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Under "Sliding" the phrase "it is normally limited to drilling lateral sections of a horizontal well" is not quite correct. Sliding causes the bit to drift towards the High Side Tool Face changing the direction of the bore. It is most common in the curve and only used in the lateral for coarse correction. 192.188.9.88 (talk) 21:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
