A Tangent Section is Shown After the Build Section
1
A tangent section is shown after the build section. The purpose of the tangent is to maintain angle and direction until the next target is reached. In the example well, a drop section is shown at the end of the tangent. The purpose of a drop is usually to place the wellbore in the reservoir in the optimum orientation with respect to formation permeability or in-situ formation stress; alternatively, a horizontal extension may be the preferred orientation in the case of a pay-zone that contains multiple vertical fractures or that has potential for gas or water coning.
