Slant-Oil Well Drilling Described by Texan Worker
Lindley Young a former roughneck who helped drill 10 deviated wells in East Texas in the 1950s explains the method. Drillers drop about 200 feet then use a whipstock to steer at a 25 to 30 degree angle before resuming drilling to strike oil under adjacent leases. One well reportedly reached a 68 degree deviation and tapped an oil pool over 4,000 feet away.
