ABSTRACT:
A downhole adjustable orienting sub is included in a directional drilling tool string that is run into the borehole on coiled tubing. The bent housing of the tool string defines a bend angle and a bend point, and the bend point is oriented about the center of the bore by operating the orienting sub. The level of the reactive torque applied to the bent housing as the bit drills on bottom is controlled by selecting the amount of the weight of the coiled tubing that is applied to the bit. The orienting sub can be indexed downhole to provide different orientations of the bend point by temporarily reducing and then increasing the mud flow rate.
