Abstract: A method including positioning a formation testing tool within a wellbore formed within a subsurface reservoir, wherein the tool has a focused opening to enable fluid communication with the reservoir, and the tool has a horizontally-displaced observation probe configured to obtain pressure data; determining one of horizontal permeability and horizontal mobility of the reservoir based on measuring a flow response of the subsurface reservoir one of at and adjacent to the observation probe; and determining orthogonal components of one of the horizontal permeability and horizontal mobility based on the measured flow response.

Abstract: A bottom hole assembly is rotatably adapted for drilling directional boreholes into an earthen formation. It has an upper stabilizer mounted to a collar, and a rotary steerable system. The rotary steerable system has an upper section connected to the collar, a steering section, and a drill bit arranged for drilling the borehole attached to the steering section. The steering section is joined at a swivel with the upper section. The steering section is actively tilted about the swivel. A lower stabilizer is mounted upon the steering section such that the swivel is intermediate the drill bit and the lower stabilizer.
