Abstract
A method for constructing a wellbore includes drilling a wellbore along a trajectory using a bit; reaming the diameter of a portion of the drilled wellbore to enlarge a portion of the wellbore; and altering the trajectory of the bit by applying a lateral force to the enlarged diameter wellbore. Reaming the diameter of the portion of the drilled wellbore increases the dogleg of the wellbore.
