Types Of Directional Wells Profile & Pattern
With the advent of steerable systems, some directional wells are planned and drilled with complex profile types involving 3-dimensional turns. Generally, this happens mainly in the case of re-drills, where old wells are sidetracked and drilled to entirely new targets.

However, these complex well paths are harder to drill, and the old adage that "the simplest method is usually the best" holds true.
