A new pipeline construction project in Oklahoma required a horizontal directionally drilled (HDD) bore to allow installation of the pipeline under a creek bed. In such situations, girth welds associated with the field assembly of the pipeline must be coated and protected from mechanical damage through interactions with roller cradles and rocks/aggregate within the ...
In February 2025, Bahia Gas completed a pipeline protection project in Ipiau, Brazil, to address coating damage at HDD transition points. PVC sleeves secured with shrink wrap had been previously installed by a different contractor and had failed to protect the 10" API 5L Gr. B pipeline during pull-through operations. To enhance wear resistance and protect the 3LPE coating system at girth welds, ...
This strategy targeted contamination beneath both the former dry cleaner and the occupied retail store, using directional drilling and advanced monitoring systems to control temperatures and maintain ...
Construction technology of rotary drilling rig The construction technology of rotary drilling rig for sale is a relatively advanced pile foundation construction technology that has been promoted and used in my country in recent years. ...
An ongoing review of historical data within the Company’s ‘Paddys Well’ has confirmed multiple REE occurrences within both historical drill core and surface rockchips. Voltaic’s CEO, Michael Walshe, commented, “The historical drill results are extremely encouraging for the REE prospectivity of the region. ...
Comparing the precision and computational performance of machine learning algorithms for rate of penetration in directional well drilling, an artificial neural network to estimate the rock uniaxial strength properties Et al. ...
Sumo and conservation agriculture To support British farmers through conservation agriculture and the move from plough to minimum tillage, Sumo has developed a range of mounted tillage cultivators and drills that are ideal for small to medium sized farms. All machinery is designed and manufactured in the UK to support soil structure and improve soil health. Tillage cultivators ...
The application of scientific understanding to farming has improved crop yield and quality. However, farmers and scientists speak different languages. Farmers discuss yield and cost-benefit; scientists quantify caveats, uncertainty and risk. Moreover, a scientific field trial may produce a wonderful PhD but not be applicable anywhere outside the test site. Farmers deserve better than that. What ...
What is a Directional Survey? A directional survey is a survey method that can be used to map various underground drilling applications. Directional surveys are used to map a planned underground route by using aiding data provided by any combination of directional survey stations. ...
This catchment based approach is embodied within the EU Floods Directive 2007/60/EC, and in recent years, those responsible for flood management have increasingly looked for solutions that employ techniques which work with natural hydrological and morphological processes, features and characteristics to manage the sources and pathways of flood waters. ...
Horizontal directional drilling can be defined as any processes which are carried out to reduce the need for surface excavation. ...
Rotate Your Drill Pipe For Even Wearing The drill pipe in a directional drilling machine is the part that wears quick during any drilling exercise. ...
SITE Active Fueling Station and Farm Store, Greeley Colorado CONTAMINATION Diesel and Gasoline range organics including LNAPL. The LNAPL plume is approximately 20,000 square feet. The dissolved-phase plume, above RBSLs, is approximately 40,000 square feet. OBJECTIVE The design involved 5 VertebraeTM well systems to provide targeted air sparging (AS) utilizing 29 independent well segments and ...
Vertebrae is a multipurpose nested well installed by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). Vertebrae was installed and sampling providing a clearer point of released a more accurate representation of the plume, thus allowing a surgical treatment plan to move forward. ...
Directional drilling has been used for a variety of purposes; utilities, dewatering, and remedial activities. ...
Project Details Bloomington Manufactured Gas Plant Horizontal Remediation Well Location Grand Rapids, MI Products Used Puregold Cleandrill Northern Illinois Gas entered into an agreement with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to construct a horizontal remediation well at the former site of Bloomington Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP). The remediation well was ...

It boosts the production of a well Any person who has worked in the oil drilling industry will tell you that the availability of a Plugbuster makes drilling easier. ...
Summary Passive seismic HVSR surveying is increasingly being used for investigating the thickness of soft sedimentary cover deposits sitting over hard and fresh bedrock, and for direct drill targeting of paleochannels for groundwater and brine resources. ...
Pretty impressive stuff but a bit closer to home is the reality that horizontal directional drilling (HDD) activity is often akin to entering a blackhole rather than characterizing it! Humans have been observing and mapping the cosmos for a million years or so and it is incredible to think that when an HDD crew directs their bit into the ground ...
The Australasian Land and Groundwater Association, ALGA, recognized Pedro Balbachevsky, AECOM, and his team, Directional Technologies and Matrix Drilling, for the 2018 Outstanding Innovation Award for Australia’s 1st Installation of Horizontal Wells for ISCO and Biosparging. ...
