In this episode, David Gibson goes into detail about the fundamentals of directional drilling, MWD (measurement while drilling) tools, and LWD (logging while drilling). These are key components to the oil and gas industry today (on the drilling side). Without these tools, horizontal shale wells across the US would likely not be feasible for development. Check out the show notes below for discussion points.
