Home > Our Services > Directional Drilling
Equipped with high-quality drilling machines and supported by a team of experienced, safety-conscious professionals, we deliver reliable underground installations tailored to the specific needs of each project.
Directional drilling is an advanced oilfield service that allows operators to drill wells at angles or along curved paths rather than just vertically, making it possible to reach target zones that are otherwise inaccessible, maximize reservoir exposure, and reduce surface disturbances.
We specialize in Directional Drilling for a wide range of essential services, including telecommunications, water, power, gas, and drainage pipelines. Our work plays a key role in enhancing and expanding New Zealand’s infrastructure with minimal surface disruption and maximum efficiency.
Directional drilling services typically include:
Detailed well path design
Engineers plan the most effective well trajectory, tailored for each reservoir.
High-precision steering
Specialized downhole motors and rotary steerable systems let operators adjust the borehole direction in real time.
Ongoing monitoring
Operators use measurement-while-drilling (MWD) and logging-while-drilling (LWD) to gather data and keep the well on its planned course.
Post-drill reports
Comprehensive records help teams fine-tune future drilling, further boosting efficiency.
Utilizes automated steerable tools to adjust well direction on-the-fly, supporting faster and more precise drilling.
Deploys advanced sensors for both navigation and real-time geological data review, enhancing accuracy in complex reservoirs.
Integrates live geological analysis, adapting the well path during drilling for optimal resource extraction.
Designs and drills branches and horizontal sections within one main well, increasing reservoir exposure.
Uses custom downhole tools to remove debris and prepare wells for completion, reducing production risks.
Ensures wells are ready for safe and efficient production, including sealing, reinforcement, and system installation.
At JGT Limited, our skilled team is committed to safety, innovation, and reliability—ensuring every project is delivered efficiently, on time, and to the highest standard.
