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, ...
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 ...
Approach: Steam enhanced extraction (SEE) was combined with thermal conduction heating (TCH) to the CVOCs in complex subsurface conditions. 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 ...
Electrical and Lighting Systems Inspection Ensure that electrical systems, wiring, outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures comply with safety standards and regulations. Inspect electrical components for signs of wear, damage, overheating, or malfunction, and address any issues promptly. ...
With the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, the amount of pile foundation construction is increasing day by day. Rapid development of infrastructure construction, more and more tall, large, and heavy construction projects. In the pile foundation industry, based on the bearing capacity needs of high-rise, super high-rise buildings and large bridges, as well as environmental ...
Financials have been keeping the ASX in positive territory in today’s session, following improved sentiment for financial stocks after the Bank of Queensland (ASX:BOQ) yesterday announced better-than-expected Net Interest Margin performance. This has bolstered financial stocks and the broader market. At noon, the S&P/ASX 200 is 0.51 per cent or 34.10 points higher at 6681.60. The SPI ...
The oil and gas industry becomes more unpredictable and competitive, companies are vigorously looking for advanced methods to be more effective through the streamlining of production, reducing costs, maximizing cash flow and improving worker safety, among other things. Oil and gas ventures are confronting a few difficulties and issues in information handling and taking care of. The appropriate ...
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 ...
In today’s rapidly advancing technological world, precision and reliability in surveillance systems are paramount. Inertial Labs, known for its cutting-edge solutions, has ushered in a new paradigm with its miniAHRS – an Attitude and Heading Reference System tailored for the modern era. As security threats become increasingly sophisticated, so must the tools we employ to detect and ...
In this article, we look at those reasons as to why it has become a popular method of drilling. Reduced Infrastructure Disruption Today, directional drilling is commonly used to lay down utility pipes. ...
The first human-made wells were made over 8,000 years ago. Since then, millions of wells have been dug across the world. The used technologies, drilling methods, and equipment have been transforming as time goes by. Efficient tools and equipment from brands such as Supermill have been developed for drilling purposes. The maintenance and attainment of optimal machine and equipment efficiency ...
Directional drilling has been used for a variety of purposes; utilities, dewatering, and remedial activities. Cutting costs for remedial activities it is always of consideration. What the costs are to clean-up a site via traditional vertical extraction wells versus using a horizontal well system needs to be reconsidered based upon todays remedial challenges. Traditionally, it has been stated that ...
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 ...
SITE Confidential Site in South, FL CONTAMINATION Solvents OBJECTIVE One age old issue for proper site characterization is inaccessibility. Most sites have some type of building or structure in the way of completing an easy assessment. Often a building lies near or directly on top of a source of contamination where it matters most. Some buildings lend themselves to gathering limited data ...
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 ...

Many drillers struggle to make wellbores productive. As a drilling manager, it’s essential to focus on the production per meter and minimize the things that eat into your profits. That is the precise reason you should know about Plugbuster and how it helps to remove solids in the production casing. What is Plugbuster? Plugbuster is a milling tool that cleans out a well before production ...
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. A detailed passive seismic HVSR survey was carried out at the Chilalo Graphite Project in SE Tanzania to assist with defining the thickness of ...
The following excerpts are from a featured article that was originally published in Trenchless Technology. In the very recent past in a galaxy far, far away (actually M87 a mere 55 million light years away), the first images of a black hole were reportedly made deep in space. Pretty impressive stuff but a bit closer to home is the reality that horizontal directional drilling (HDD) activity is ...
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. ALGA Outstanding Innovation Award Advancing the Land and Groundwater Industry Challenged with remediation of a ...
Residual contamination resulting in dissolved concentrations of jet fuel chemicals above the state regulator’s cleanup criteria were still present beneath the taxiway and aircraft parking areas. ...
