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, ...
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. ...
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. ...
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Horizontal or directional drilling (HDD) can be defined as any drilling activity that deviates from the vertical. Typically, this deviation is greater than 80 degrees from the vertical. Directional or horizontal drilling is not new. The technique has been ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
The remediation system is comprised of a trailer enclosed air compressor capable of at least 235 cfm at 24 pounds per square inch (psi). Horizontal Well Installation with Horizontal Directional Drilling: Horizontal directional drilling for installation of ...
Installation of the horizontal wells with directional drilling eliminated the need for invasive concrete cutting, trenching, and piping required to connect vertical sparging points. ...
Layout of two (2) multipurpose Horizontal Remediation Wells at a DOD site. Directional Technologies has completed numerous projects where the horizontal wells are used for multiple purposes. ...
The oil and gas industry has used directional drilling for decades to improve oil recovery, based on a simple concept that the more screen contact there is with the “pay-zone,” the more production gained. For over 24 years, Directional Technologies, Inc. has coupled this oilfield technology with Horizontal ...
This January will mark 40 years of experience of working with drilling fluids and drilling fluids recycling equipment for this author, and yours truly could write a book on drilling fluids mixing errors made by both vertical and horizontal directional drilling contractors. ...

When designed and executed by experienced horizontal environmental drilling experts, Horizontal Remediation Systems can be extremely effective at achieving rapid site closure compared to vertical remediation systems. The following elements are critical to a successful Horizontal Remediation System: Zone of Influence ...
One of the soil vapor extraction wells and nine of the sparging wells were installed as horizontal wells beneath M-72 using directional drilling method. Global designed the system, prepared the plans and specifications, oversaw bidding and oversaw the installation as well as subsequent operation of the treatment ...
Relative to the use of drilling fluids within the oil & gas industry, the use of drilling fluids within the horizontal directional drilling (“HDD”) industry, is new. As the use of HDD technology did not become mainstream until the 1980’s, it took another decade before drillers started to ...
