If I understand things right, directional drilling can happen from the same surface location. I don’t believe they’re using the same well bore for this well. By going directional (slant) they can explore further out and into the potential reservoir that showed up on the seismic. Once they get to the depth they want, they can then drill horizontal. As they drill, I suspect they’ll be looking for producable “up-hole” zones to offset well costs. jmho

is zion using the same wellbore as no 1 well?
if so drilling to 18,000 should not take that long??????
