Chesapeake is on of the major players in the horizontal gas drilling market with lots and lots of wells in the Barnett shale of north Texas. http://www.energyindustryphotos.com/how_oil_and_gas_wells_are_drille.htm

Tungsten is a major component in those drilling bits.
On a pedestal drill the workpiece is static and the drill is in a vertical position and rotates. On a lathe the workpiece rotates but not the drill, and the drill is in a horizontal position.
They are built on land and towed to sea to the drilling site where the oil or gas is.
Drilling centre and guided drilling get your hole in precisely the correct place.
horizontal displacement as per directional drilling?
Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.

It generally depends on the price of oil and natural gas. When the price of oil/gas gets high, drilling for oil/gas generally increases thereafter. Oil and gas drilling has been growing in areas such as the northeast United States because of new discoveries and technology regarding shale gas.
Cheaper petrol and gas,

whenever you are drilling through the pay zone, gas contained zones or shallow gas zones there is the risk of having gas in the mud. As you are circulating the mud throthe annulus if the hydrostatic pressure of the column of mud in the annulus is less than the formation pressure then the gas will rise. Note that the gas can be contained in the mud which is called gas cut mud.
