n: see drift angle.

n: The angle between the tangent of borehole axis and vertical line, measured by inclinometer.

n:1. intentional deviation of a wellbore from the vertical. Although well bores are normally drilled vertically, it is sometimes necessary or advantageous to drill at an angle from the vertical. Controlled directional drilling makes it possible to reach subsurface areas laterally remote from the point where the bit enters the earth. It often involves the use of deflection tools. 2. a technique of river crossing in pipeline construction in which the pipe is buried under the riverbed at very much greater than those of conventional crossings. With this technique, a hole in the form of an inverted arc is drilled beneath the river, and the made-up pipeline is pulled through it.

n: The intentional deviation of a wellbore in order to reach an objective some distance from the rig.

drilling the wellbore in a planned angle of deviation or trajectory.
