Conventional drilling:
In traditional vertical drilling, a borehole is directly drilled into the ground in a vertical manner. Conventionally, this method is utilized when the targeted underground resource or object is directly beneath the surface area of a land.
Horizontal directional drilling HDD
HDD is a trenchless drilling technique that involves drilling a pilot hole along a planned curve and then reaming the hole to expand it. HDD is often used to install pipelines, cables, and other underground utilities in a controlled manner, typically avoiding the surface disruption of land.
Multidirectional drilling:
Similar to HDD, multidirectional drilling technology allows to borehole in multiple directions from a single entry point. This technique can be useful for installing multiple pipes or cables from a single location. It may also reduce the number of surface locations required for underground utility installation.
Steerable drilling:
Steerable drilling involves using special tools and techniques to allow drillers to precisely control the direction of the drill bit as it moves through the ground. This may enable more accurate drilling to specific underground targets, as well as better avoidance of surface and subsurface obstacles.
Non-circular hole drilling:
This method is to drill non- circular holes in an economical manner. To achieve this goal, special reamers and mud motors are used. Using a variety of drilling fluids, the drill cuttings are helped and espacied.
Micro-drilling:
This technology includes using mud motors and rotary steerable systems to drill small-diameter wells; in addition, new drilling fluids and bit technologies are utilized to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of drilling
Drilling with multiple concurrent wells:
(also called by batch drilling) It is a common practice in the industry to use asingle entry point to drill of set of wells concurrently. Further, with the increased use of steerable technology and advances in drilling fluids of the sort mentioned earlier, the scale economies of such batch drilling can be substantial.
The maintenance of the directional drill should be done as per manufacturer instructions. Nevertheless, here are some useful general tips to keep the drill in great shape.
Invest in regular spare part inspections. If any of the components, like the drill pipes or mud pumps, show any signs of damage or wear and tear, replace them immediately.
Lubricate all movable parts of the drill. This minimizes friction, reduces the rate of wear and tear, and prevents clogging of parts.
Clean the drill and remove any build-ups of mud or other forms of debris. Servicing the air filters is also essential since it improves the quality of air that gets into the engine.
Always keep the drill at the right level of fluids by maintaining appropriate coolant, hydraulic fluid, and lubricant levels to ensure smooth operation and avoid untimely breakdowns.
Establish a well-defined maintenance schedule. It can be based on the hours of usage or specific mileage achieved. Routine inspections, calibrations, and adjustments as prescribed by the manufacturer can help in identifying small issues with the drill before they escalate into bigger problems that are costlier to repair.
Lastly, always train the operator on the proper use and basic small-scale maintenance drills of the horizontal directional drill. This is especially important knowledge since it can go a long way toward extending the life of the machine and helping to avoid hazardous situations resulting from improper use.
Directional drilling is used for multiple applications in the oil and gas industry, construction, and various other sectors.
Mandatory requirements are the following first drills to present a need for all other buyers. In many cases, the first drill is enough to start the business taking extra drills may be more.
Focusing on studies of the local market to see what kind of soil the market will have is important when it comes to purchasing a drill. Reading up on the type of geology is important to see what kind of drill will work in the area and what pipes it can use.
The capacity of the drill can determine how much of the business one can do. If one only needs to do small capacity drills, then there is no need to invest in a large capacity drill that will be more expensive. So find out how much of the business small capacity drills can earn.
Focusing on easy-to-use drills means that the training cost of the staff is less. Finding drills that have easy-to-follow manuals or GPS control are the best choices. The drill's control and monitoring should be easy and user-friendly.
Investing in a drill with a high capacity or large drill rig is only important if one needs to do large diameter drilling or long-length drilling. Keeping the business need in mind will go a long way in knowing how large a drill to invest in.
The type of drill needed is important to know when making a selection. Drills will differ according to land use. For example, urban areas will have different drills than rural areas because of space and the need to avoid disturbing the community. Drills that have good maneuverability are the best kind to choose in such conditions.
The backing equipment like the rack or mud system should also be looked into. This equipment does vary with each drill so it is important to see if it works with the drill being purchased. Check if it is compatible and see its capacity, efficiency, and performance record.
Q1: What is the future of horizontal directional drilling?
A1: The global horizontal directional drilling market is likely to witness substantial growth. The market is likely to grow from a value of US$ 6.7 billion in 2022 to US$ 10.31 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2030. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market are the growth of the oil and gas industry, urbanization, and the need for infrastructure development worldwide.
Q2: What are the different types of horizontal directional drilling machines?
A2: There are several types of HDD drilling rigs used for different kinds of projects. The anchor-based HDD rig is very common. It is popular for small to medium diameter bores. There are self-propelled HDD machines used for various sizes of bores. The self-propelled HDD machine has its vehicle for better mobility. Other common types of HDD rigs include the guided boring machine, rack-and-pinion rig, and micro HDD rig.
Q3: What are the benefits of horizontal directional drilling?
A3: HDD combines the benefits of trenching and non-invasive methods. The non-invasive method of HDD is suitable for drilling in sensitive areas. Some sensitive sites include areas with busy roads, complex utilities, water bodies, or under landscapes with limited clearances. The HDD method is also faster compared to traditional drilling methods. It reduces land disturbance, protects the soil structure, and is more cost-effective.
