Oil is utilized diversely in the world; starting as cooking material, manufacture fuel, until gas for vehicles. To obtain oil reserve, a drilling from the surface to the reservoir is required. The kind drilling chosen in this research is a directional drilling where the drill bit is aimed several degrees towards targeted formation, which is not vertically located under the reservoir. The planning process of directional drilling includes drilling trajectory planning and BHA composition utilization planning during the process. To determine inclination point and azimuth in AMR-10 drilling trajectory was formed by using radius of curvature method, and compare its result with actual trajectory counted by using minimum of curvature method, by calculation vertical depth, build-up rate, radius, azimuth trajectory, dogleg value, ratio factor, north and east direction, and horizontal movement. Based on the calculation of reservoir trajectory planning of AMR-10 reservoir, the vertical depth value is at 6540.9 ft. and horizontal movement from drilling starting point is 2290.3 ft. with azimuth angle of 202.68°. Based on the calculation and survey data, we can see that an inclination of 1.76° was occurred at 149.2 ft.MD and azimuth angle of 206.6° at similar depth.
