Slant wells, also referred to as angle wells, are connected to drill rigs and are drilled at an angle that allows the extraction of seawater from the shore. The benefit of using slant wells is the prevention of habitat loss along shorelines. The downside of slant wells is that they can be complicated to build and maintain. Currently their potential usage for desalinations plants are being investigated on the field [1] .
