Abstract:
An improved method of drilling a substantially lateral section of a wellbore is provided. A first segment of a drilling string with a bottom hole assembly is extended into a wellbore. At determined intervals of the drilling string, a plurality of friction reduction segments are connected as the wellbore is drilled and the drilling string is extended into the wellbore. The friction reduction segments comprise a friction reduction tool and corresponding activation tool for activating the friction reduction tool. The activation tool selectively diverts drilling fluid into a motor powering the friction reduction tool or away from the motor, and can be a ball catch assembly that is activated when a suitably sized projectile is seated in the assembly. Multiple friction reduction segments can be connected to the drilling string and one or more of the plurality of segments can be activated.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of drilling a wellbore using a drilling string, the method comprising:\n providing a first segment of the drilling string having drill pipe connected thereto, the first segment comprising a bottom hole assembly; at a first determined interval of drill pipe connected to the first segment, connecting a first friction reduction tool and a first activation tool, the first activation tool being in operable communication with the first friction reduction tool for activating the first friction reduction tool, the first friction reduction tool and the first activation tool providing a first friction reduction segment; connecting further components of the drilling string above the first friction reduction segment; extending the drilling string in the wellbore; at further determined intervals of the drilling string above the first friction reduction segment, connecting one or more further friction reduction tools and one or more corresponding further activation tools to the drilling string to provide one or more further friction reduction segments, and connecting further components of the drilling string above each further friction reduction segment; at any time while the drilling string is extended in the wellbore, and at least the first friction reduction tool is positioned below a casing of the wellbore, activating the first friction reduction tool or one of the one or more further friction reduction tools positioned below the casing.
