A borehole which has been intentionally drilled at an angle from vertical by special downhole drilling tools to guide the drill assembly in the desired direction. Deviated holes are drilled to reach a part of a formation or reservoir which cannot be drilled by a straight or vertical hole because of environmental, political, or economic reasons.
