One of the requirements for a horizontal hammer BHA was using a continuous downhole guidance system to provide directional control in the 20 feet thick geologic target in the Berea. Another challenge was to develop a bottom-hole assembly...

... environment. The extensive engineering evaluation, using finite-element analysis and torque-and-drag calculations, confirmed the bottom hole assembly (BHA) design was technically feasible without compromising safety and drilling efficiency. Three wells successfully delivered all directional objectives...

... Stabilizers are primarily used in bottom hole assemblies (BHA) for controlling devia- tion in both straight holes and directional holes. However, stabilizers can serve other purposes. Near bit stabilizers may be used not only for deviation conrr21 but also to enhance penetration rates. ' They do so by both...

...) and a bent housing bottom hole assembly in the intermediate hole section presented many problems. The 12!" hole section on Well A was drilled using such a PDM BHA and is being presented as the reference well for this type of directional drilling. The problems encountered on Well A and typical of all PDM...
