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. ...
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. ...
BioLogix bioremediation was used to remediate petroleum contaminated soil and ground water to facilitate property redevelopment and meet regulatory obligations at sites throughout the US. While every site is unique, the following case studies provide a basis for confidently selecting BioLogix bioremediation for your ...
Since 2005, most of the increase in domestic natural gas production resulted from ongoing development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology. Producers developed more efficient ways to extract gas and crude oil from deposits of shale, sandstone, carbonate, and other geologic formations. ...
The principal idea behind SAGD is that two parallel horizontal wells are drilled through a reservoir, one above the other. The top well is used for injecting hot steam into the oil sands. ...
The Challenge The worldwide energy sector has accelerated the development of its unconventional oil and gas resources through increased use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing practices. Water is an essential element in the fracturing process and the recycling or reuse of spent water can dramatically reduce costs. ...
While numerous closely-spaced injection points can improve the distribution of inoculants, this approach is often not possible at active properties and can be costly. Horizontal drilling was used on the subject site to overcome the combined challenges of low permeability and limited site access to inject Petrox microbes for bioaugmentation. ...
Horizontal directional drilling can be defined as any processes which are carried out to reduce the need for surface excavation. ...
Here are ideas on how to maintain and keep your drilling equipment in top shape. Train Your Drill Operators Well Your drill operators should get trained on how to use the drilling equipment well. ...
A better way to evaluate the cost benefit of one system over another is to base it on the number of vertical wells per linear foot of directional well and base it more on zone of influence of both designs. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Horizontal or directional drilling (HDD) can be defined as any drilling activity that deviates from the vertical. ...
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. ...
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! ...
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 ...
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 horizontal biosparge wells. Directional ...
The ability of this new breed of four sensor thermal meter to adjust for changing gas compositions gives end users a significantly lower cost alternative to four path ultrasonic meters Hydraulic fracturing Hydraulic fracturing is used to release oil and natural gas from wells drilled into reservoir shale rock formations called ‘shale plays’. While fracturing itself ...
To avoid costly business interruption and site disturbance, Ganesh Kurse with G & RK Consulting Associates, recommended a non-invasive remedial approach by installing horizontal ozone sparge wells with directional drilling techniques. Although horizontal ozone sparging wells were a new remedial technology to G & RK and the State of ...
