These modern drilling techniques have ensured the oil drilling and exploration companies to reach out the pockets of oil reserves that are located far away from the drill site. As a result of this the oil drilling companies are able to reach out the oil pockets that are located near the heavily populated areas without causing any sort of disturbance to the people over there or to the environment of that particular locality. Hence it can be said that the modern drilling techniques have become a boon to the oil drilling companies.
