Full textAbstract:
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless technology mainly used for the installation of gas, sewer lines, and fiber optic cables. Spent HDD fluid is a by-product of the boring process. However, little is known of its constituency, although the land application of spent HDD residuals would be an economical and less time-consuming method of disposal. Physicochemical analysis of spent HDD residuals from broad geographic regions was conducted to determine if the land application would be an environmentally safe option for disposal. Fifty-eight HDD samples were collected from 26 states throughout the United States. After separation of the liquid and solid portion, the materials were assessed for carbon (C), nitrogen (N), plant nutrients, soluble and total trace metals, total dissolved solids, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and potential “leachable metals”. All trace metal concentrations in the digested solid portion were well below the limits for biosolids set by the EPA 40 Part 503 rule for land application. Metal concentrations did not exceed the limits of drinking water standards. Besides the total amount of solids, there was nothing chemically limiting HDD residuals from land application. However, if boring through soil with suspected contamination, testing the residual before the application is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless technology provides an installation alternative that offers a lot of benefit compared to traditional open-cut method. It’s called HDD because its steering ability to avoid existing utilities or other obstacles either horizontally, vertically and even pulled back where she got its name. HDD was developed in California in the 1970s and was introduced in Europe in 1986. Since year 1992 up to 2016 there are about 40 thousand unit HDD machine were sold worldwide. Contractors, consultants, municipalities and decision makers are always in difficulties to determine the installation cost and the duration required when using the HDD method due to the presence of many qualitative factors. Understanding the HDD productivity factors will assist the stakeholders to overcome this matter. The aims of this study are to identify the existing HDD productivity factors, identify the factors that affect HDD productivity, identify the current tools that are used by current researcher, and identify the open problems and areas related to HDD productivity for improvement. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried to previous related papers retrieved by a manual search, critically analysed and discussed. Researches regarding HDD productivity conducted by previous researchers were compared and discussed. The studies involved journal articles, conference papers, books, guidelines and etc. Consequently, these previous experiences and models can assist the contractors, consultants, municipalities and decision makers in preparing their costing and scheduling. The lacking factors on HDD productivity factors were highlighted and suggested for futre studies.

Full textAbstract:
The study discusses the issue of introducing drilling fluid (bentonite) into the environment during the construction of linear underground investments, considering the example of the construction of the high-pressure gas pipeline, Czeszów—Kiełczów DN1000, which involved the use of the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method. The analyses concern the drilling stage as a low-waste technology, indicating the use and management of bentonite drilling fluid in a closed circulation cycle in the area of Pęciszów, poviat Trzebnica (Poland). The loss of drilling fluid in valuable natural areas during the construction stage of the gas pipeline has been analyzed. Drilling fluid is an element of the horizontal directional drilling technology (HDD). The analyzed area included a section of the route of the strategic gas pipeline, realized in June–July 2017 in an area of lowland ash and alder forest 91E0-3, a probable breeding site of the Bluethroat for a detailed description and common frog. The loss of the drilling fluid used in the drilling phase has been determined, depending on the type of soil and the related fraction as well as the possibility of treating the drilling fluid used to construct the drilling.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, trenchless horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology has developed rapidly towards the direction of large pipe diameter and long span. During construction, the buckling deformation and large drag torque of the drillstring (DS) are the key problems restricting the development of the HDD technology. In order to understand the buckling deformation law of the DS in horizontal directional drilling engineering, as well as the transfer and the distribution of the drag torque, and the relationship between the buckling deformation and drag torque, the dynamic model of the DS system in drilling engineering is applied to HDD engineering. The dynamics model of HDD at a long distance (5200 m) is established and calculated. The research indicates (1) when the buckling deformation of the DS is small, priority should be given to reducing the friction and torsion at the bending position; (2) excessive inlet thrust is the main reason for the buckling deformation of the DS, and the smaller the hole diameter, the more serious the buckling deformation; (3) severe buckling deformation of the DS will lead to an increase in the frictional resistance at the deformed part, and even local self-locking, resulting in the inability to continue to increase the weight on bit (WOB). The research results preliminarily reveal the relationship between DS buckling deformation and drag torque in ultra-long distance HDD engineering and point out the phenomenon law of drag torque and buckling deformation, which has reference value for the development of HDD technology.

Full textAbstract:
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is commonly associated with well exploration activity, onshore road crossing, nearshore pipeline installation, and offshore pipeline crossing which requires precise alignment of two barges from one to the other. Here, the purpose of this study was to show one of the projects that was successfully performed on December 2013 for the Bukit Tua Project in East Java, Indonesia costing USD 8 Million. From this project experience, there are 6 Best Practices in HDD Offshore Project for Pipeline Crossing Application (first in region) which will serve as a guide to future projects in replicating similar success. Out from 6 Best practices, there are two main recipes for success of HDD offshore for offshore crossings which are the drilling fluid also known as mud, and the Gyro Steering Tool (GST). First, mud parameter varies on case by case basis depending on the soil condition at the location where HDD will be performed. Failure to maintain the above parameters may result in catastrophic failure whereby the bore hole may collapse and pipe may get stuck underneath the seabed. Secondly, the beauty of GST is extremely accurate and unaffected by other metal anomalies during drilling process, thus ensuring the curve profile and direction of drilling are as per design throughout the whole process.

Full textAbstract:
Advances in the field of material engineering, computerization, automation, and equipment miniaturization enable modernization of the existing technologies and development of new solutions for construction, inspection, and renovation of underground pipelines. Underground pipe installations are used in the energy sector, gas industry, telecommunications, water and sewage transport, heating, chemical industry, and environmental engineering. In order to build new pipeline networks, dig and no-dig techniques are used. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is one of the most popular trenchless technologies. The effectiveness of HDD technology application is mostly determined by its properly designed trajectory. Drilling failures and complications, which often accompany the application of the HDD technology, result from poor design of the well path in relation to the existing geological and drilling conditions. The article presented two concepts of Horizontal Directional Drilling well path trajectory design: Classic sectional, which is a combination of straight and curvilinear sections, and a single-section chain curve trajectory (catenary). Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the catenary trajectory relative to the sectional trajectory, the author’s solution was presented, which was the implementation of the sectional trajectory with a maximum shape similarity to the catenary trajectory. The new approach allowed us to take advantage of a chain curve trajectory and was easier to implement using the available technology. The least squares method, based on deviations from a catenary trajectory, was set as the matching criterion. The process of searching for a trajectory, being a combination of straight and curvilinear sections as similar as possible to a catenary-type trajectory, was carried out using two methodologies: State space search and a genetic algorithm. The article shows the pros and cons of both optimization methodologies. Taking into account the technical and technological limitations of HDD drilling devices, a new approach was proposed, combining the methodology of state space search with the genetic algorithm. A calculation example showed the application of the proposed methodology in an engineering design process.

Full textAbstract:
In practice, the drilling path of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects is usually constructed by trial and error based on a preliminary designing trajectory. This study aimed to propose and test a method to predesign and optimize the drilling paths automatically, with the view of improving the efficiency of HDD design preparations. Alternating straight and curvilinear segments is a commonly used method for designing drilling paths, especially the “straight—curvilinear—horizontal straight—curvilinear—straight” five-segment arrangement. The catenary method was proposed to design the drilling path with the advantage of lower friction for the mechanical constraints. However, it is difficult to be implemented with technology limitations due to its continuously changing curvature. In this study, five-segment trajectories were combined with the catenary trajectory to utilize their advantages using the improved radial movement optimization (IRMO) algorithm. Drilling mud pressure was considered in the processes of the mechanical design to avoid collapse or possible instability. Two different examples were tested in different scenarios, theoretical and practical. The results show that the IRMO algorithm has a great potential for automatically designing and optimizing preliminary drilling paths with low time-consumption and high feasibility.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents results of both tests and analysis of polyethylene pipes installed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD). A total of seven full-scale HDD field installations were performed at the University of Waterloo. The test parameters were pull length, overcut ratio, quality of the drilling fluid, pipe diameter, and pipe material. The paper presents an overview of the testing methodology, instrumentation, and test specimens. The method for measuring strains along the length of the pipe is presented and discussed. Experimental results concentrate on pipe strains due to bending and axial deformations during HDD. Post-installation axial strains are also presented. A predictive model has been developed to analyze the pipe under various installation conditions. The model accounts for major mechanical contributions to the pulling force in HDD installations. The emphasis in this paper is on the comparison between theoretical and experimental results and the discussion of factors influencing pulling loads and strains in polyethylene pipes installed using HDD.Key words: horizontal directional drilling, polyethylene, pipe, analysis, tests, strain, pulling loads.

O presente trabalho está focado no método de perfuração direcional horizontal (HDD) para instalação de redes de esgoto gravitacional. Descrevem-se os resultados de diferentes técnicas com o objetivo de se atingir a exigência de declividade. Para tanto foram executados 4 furos experimentais simulando trechos daquelas redes, com extensão de 30 m e tubulação de PEAD com diâmetro externo de 125 mm. Estas instalações foram executadas na cidade de São Carlos, Brasil, em um solo classificado granulometricamente como uma areia argilosa. Para cada uma das 4 instalações, adotou-se um processo construtivo diferenciado. Esta diferenciação se deu a partir do diâmetro do alargador adotado, do número de passadas do mesmo e da execução de furos verticais para alívio de pressão no espaço anelar assim como medidas diretas de profundidade do furo piloto. Após a instalação dos dutos foram realizadas medidas altimétricas no interior dos mesmos possibilitando avaliar quantitativamente os resultados obtidos. Estes resultados indicam que ainda é necessário refinar a técnica de perfuração direcional para a execução das redes de esgoto. Entretanto é possível observar que as variações empregadas na execução de cada um dos furos conduzem a um caminho de melhoria nos resultados obtidos. Esta melhoria pode ser observada nos furos onde o alargador adotado apresentava menor diâmetro conduzindo a menores desvios na posição final do duto. Salientam-se também os benéficos resultados da execução dos furos verticais que conduziram a menores pressões no espaço anelar assim como possibilitaram medidas altimétricas diretas da posição do furo piloto. Desta forma, é provável que com um maior número de experimentos e incrementos tecnológicos se atinja o objetivo final, ou seja, executar redes de esgoto gravitacional com declividade constante e baixa. Em paralelo nas instalações executadas foram realizados testes para avaliação da precisão e acurácia do sistema de navegação responsável pelo fornecimento de informações de posição e temperatura da ferramenta de corte durante a execução do furo piloto. Este trabalho contempla ainda, a elaboração de uma nova solução para as instalações de esgoto executadas através do HDD. Esta solução propõe a aplicação de um esforço de tração a um elemento externo, uma geogrelha que envolve a tubulação, visando posicionar a mesma em declividade constante. Face a seu caráter inovador foram desenvolvidos equipamentos e procedimentos de ensaio de laboratório, para avaliar a aplicabilidade da solução na prática<br>The present work is focused on the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) method to install gravity sewers. The results of different techniques are described intending to meet the demands of gradient. Therefore, 4 experimental pilot bores were drilled simulating a section of those structures extending 30 m with HDPE pipelines of 125 mm external diameter. Those installations were engineered in the city of São Carlos, Brazil, in a clayey sand. For each of the 4 installations a distinct constructive process was adopted. Such characteristic was on account of the diameter of the selected reamer, the number of reamer steps and the vertical drills performed to relieve the pressure in the annular space, as well as the direct depth measurements of the pilot hole. After installing the pipes, altimetric measurements were performed inside them, hence enabling to quantitatively assess the obtained results. These results indicate the need to further refine the directional drilling technique for sanitary sewers. Yet it can be seen that the employed variations for each of the holes lead to an improved course of action with the observed results. Such improvement is perceived in the holes where the selected reamer had a smaller diameter, hence allowing for less displacement in the pipes final position. Also emphasized are the resulting benefits of the vertical drills that lead to less pressure in the annular space, as well as enabling altimetric measurements of the pilot hole position. Thus, it is presumed that with further experiments and technological developments the final objective is reached, meaning, putting into effect constant and low level gradient sewer networks. Tests for precision and accuracy assessment of the tracking system were also performed in each tube installed. The tracking system is responsible for providing information related to position and temperature of the drill head during the drilling operation. The steps for the development of a new HDD solution for sewer installation are presented. The idea is based on the application of a tensile force to an element external to the product, aiming at attaining a constant gradient. Equipments and procedures developed for this new technique are described.

Дисертацію присвячено розробці породоруйнівних інструментів різальної дії, оснащених полікристалічними алмазними різцями, для буріння вибійними двигунами похило-скерованих та горизонтальних свердловин.

Основные положения диссертации опубликованы в 13 научных работах. В результате аналитических и промысловых исследований определено, что для улучшения технико-экономических показателей строительства наклонно-направленных и горизонтальных скважин с использованием забойных двигателей, необходимо создание породоразрушающих инструментов режущего действия пониженной энергоемкости бурения.
Не смотря на то, что технико-экономические показатели работы породоразрушающих инструментов, оснащенных ПАР, превышают показатели шарошечных конструкций, сфера применения долот режущего действия в направленном бурении ограничена из-за осложнений, которые возникают при их использовании с забойными двигателями и попытках оперативного управления траекторией скважины. Связаны они с повышенным рабочим крутящим моментом, который резко изменяется в широком диапазоне даже при незначительных колебаниях осевой нагрузки при бурении чередующихся по прочности горных пород. Это приводит к проворачиванию забойного двигателя, или его остановке, что делает невозможным текущее управление траекторией бурения и существенным образом снижает технико-экономические показатели проходки. Поэтому, на момент постановки данных исследований, в направленном бурении традиционными технико-технологическими средствами большинство работ, которые связаны с набором угла, исправлениями траектории скважины, проведением наклонных и горизонтальных стволов, осуществляются с использованием шарошечных долот. Теоретически исследовано конструкции режущей части долота с пониженной энергоемкостью разрушения горных пород. Разработаны технические средства и методика проведения экспериментов. Проведены экспериментальные стендовые исследования долот с разными формами лопастей: плоской, обратно-конусной, эллиптической и круглоступенчатой. Определение показателей работы долот с исследуемыми профилями режущей части проводили в два этапа: на первом использовали в качестве забоя мрамор «коелга», на втором -цементные блоки. При проведении экспериментов осуществляли ступенчатое изменение параметров режима бурения, величины которых составляли: осевая нагрузка - 15; 20; 25; 30 кН; угловая скорость вращения долота - 1; 2; 3; 4 с-1. На основе теоретических и экспериментальных исследований буровых долот режущего действия установлены зависимости энергетических параметров их работы от формы профиля и количества лопастей, которые позволили предложить наиболее рациональные конструкции рабочей части породоразрушающих инструментов для заданных условий бурения наклоннонаправленных и горизонтальных скважин. Предложено круглоступенчатую форму профиля режущей части долота, в которой с целью уменьшения энергоемкости работы расстояние от оси вращения инструмента до точек соединения криволинейных сегментов меньше их наибольших радиусов. Соответствующая конструкция долота защищена авторским свидетельством на изобретение №1783108, а ее эффективность подтверждена экспериментальными и промысловыми исследованиями.
Экспериментальными исследованиями установлено, что изменение количества лопастей незначительно влияет на энергоемкость работы породоразрушающих инструментов режущего действия. Следовательно, для бурения горных пород разной твердости целесообразно разрабатывать долота с числом лопастей, которое определяется фактором необходимой износостойкости. Разработана математическая модель и экспериментально определены эмпирические коэффициенты для расчетов прогнозных энергетических параметров работы породоразрушающих инструментов режущего действия с различными формами рабочей части.
Предложена форма рабочей поверхности бурового долота, в которой для уменьшения энергоемкости бурения режущая часть выполнена в виде криволинейных сегментов, которые у соседних лопастей расположены на разных расстояниях от торца, и обратных клиньев с вершинами на оси вращения инструмента. Указанная форма долота защищена патентами Украины №3846 и Российской Федерации №42571. Изготовление опытных образцов и партий породоразрушающих инструментов с пониженной энергоемкостью бурения (четырех конструкций буровых долот и пяти - бурильных головок) организованно и осуществлено на Экспериментальном заводе Института сверхтвердых материалов им. В.М. Бакуля НАН Украины. Промысловые испытания и внедрение разработанных породоразрушающих инструментов осуществляли на нефтегазовых месторождениях ОАО «Укрнефть» и ОАО «Татнефть». Успешно испытано и внедрено при строительстве наклонно-направленных и горизонтальных скважин две конструкции буровых долот и четыре конструкции бурильных головок с предложенной для заданных условий бурения наименее энергоемкой формой режущей части.<br>The dissertation is devoted to development of PDC (polyciystalline diamond compact) bits for drilling of directional and horizontal wells. There are 13 scientific works, which contain main results of researches.
Analytical researches and field tests indicate a necessity of PDC bit designs for overall economics improvement of drilling directional and horizontal wells with a downhole motor application. Development of the fixed cutter bit designs with low energy consumption is necessary. On the basis of theoretical and experimental researches are found the relations between drilling energy parameters and fixed cutter bit designs (profile and quantity of blades). That helps to design PDC bits for drilling directional and horizontal wells pursuant to given conditions. The mathematical model for energy parameter calculations of a PDC bit activity is improved. Experimentally trial-and-error factors for different form of PDC bits are determined.
Two PDC bit designs and four core bit designs with low energy consumption at drilling by downhole motors of directional and horizontal wells were successfully tested and introduced.

Full textAbstract:
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is used around the world when traditional open cut methods are not practical or impossible for installing pipelines. Maxi-sized drill rigs are the largest and most powerful directional drills and are more common in the field than ever before with over 5,000 rigs in operation world wide. The complexity of installations and the design associated with them continues to increase.
This research has two main objectives.
1. Develop a real time data acquisition system for monitoring pullback forces on the product pipe; and,
2. Compare data gathered using maxi-sized drill rigs with current modelling methods using BoreAid.
The first portion of the research, as listed above, required attaching multiple pressure transducers to the drilling display panel in an American Auger DD-1100 drill rig and recording, in real time, the carriage, rotation, and mud pressure as seen by the operator. This research also describes the various challenges and issues associated with developing real time in-the-bore data acquisition processes. Finally, future recommendations for further development of the in-the-bore data acquisition are discussed.
The second portion of this research describes how the gathered data was processed into a workable data set. The field data was then compared to theoretical models by using the drill assistant tool BoreAid. The results of this comparison show that these models are appropriate for all size drill rigs, although some limitations are present.

Full textAbstract:
One of the techniques used for the construction of underground infrastructure is horizontal directional drilling (HDD). This trenchless method is complicated when crossing gravel deposits as a borehole in coarse gravel tends to collapse, causing the drill pipe to get stuck or the failure of installation of the product pipeline due to exceeding pull forces. In order to find a solution for the problem of borehole instability, the Biogrout process was adapted for borehole stabilization in gravel. In the Biogrout process, loose sand is converted into sandstone by injection of a dedicated mixture in the underground, which stimulates micro-organisms to catalyze chemical reactions leading to the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals. These crystals form &lsquo;bridges&rsquo; between the grains, increasing the strength and stiffness of the material. After a first successful test on lab scale in 2008 in which gravel was cemented, a 3 m3container was treated after which a hole successfully was drilled through it using HDD equipment. Following the success of this container test, two field applications were performed as part of the installation of two 48 inch steel gas pipelines with a length of 600 and 900 meter near Nijmegen NL. During these field applications twice a volume of 1.000 m3gravel was stabilized in only 7 days each time using the Biogrout technique, after which a HDD was performed successfully.

Abstract Pipeline installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) i.e., trenchless technology, has gained popularity over the last four (4) decades. Sound engineering practices, site conditions, and safety considerations dictate the use of HDD methodology for installing a pipeline segment. HDD is often recommended by regulatory agencies and governmental agencies to avoid contamination, disturbance, and flow interruption of water bodies and especially in environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs). This pipe replacement is an update of the field work, design, pull through installation, type of coatings, inspection, repair, and cathodic protection (CP) testing.

Abstract The Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) process represents a significant improvement over traditional cut and cover methods for installing pipelines beneath obstructions. However, cathodic protection monitoring at HDD locations is typically limited to the entry/exit extremities, with protection levels in the intervening span either assumed or speculated. In this essay, the theoretical calculation method of current distribution on HDD will be shared. The laboratory and field experiment results show that the soil resistivity is the main influencing factor of the cathodic protection current distribution of the HDD. This article also gives a test method for the effectiveness of cathodic protection of HDD.

Abstract Pipeline installation by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), has progressively gained a lot of popularity over the last three decades. Sound engineering practices, site condition, client preference and safety considerations can dictate the use of HDD methodology for installing a pipeline segment. HDD has gained global recognition and it is sometimes recommended by regulatory agencies and governmental agencies to avoid contamination, disturbance and flow interruption of water bodies and especially in environmentally sensitive area. Nowadays, it is the preferred method for trenchless installation of pipelines across major natural and manmade obstacles such as water bodies and roadway, ravines, rail way, run ways and other structures. Sometimes HDD can be very convenient and may be the only option from constructability stand point.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract External coating testing for pipeline directional drilling installations or informally “Bore Test”. It is a very much requested test in Alberta, Canada. The conditions of the installation are severe for the integrity of the external coating. So, a procedure has been developed after the involvement in several projects. This presents the synergies between field data and cathodic protection theories. Two different field tests are presented by using DC and AC power sources furthermore a theoretical calculation but with given field data. Also, it is introduced a specific theory how to get the resistance of the soil. As the results, pipe-to-earth resistance was similar for both field tests and consistent with the theoretical calculation given field resistivity data. Any HDD external pipeline coating integrity evaluation has its own limitations. Such as, site conditions, backfill settle, aboveground survey techniques access, as well as suitable equipment. Bore tests are run in different conditions therefore it is important to understand the engineering theories for these field tests.

ABSTRACT Pipe installed by the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method is typically unreachable for repair. Thus, the pipe coating needs to survive the initial installation to provide the longest potential for protection. There isn’t currently a standard which guides coating selection industry wide, but this paper will provide guidance on potential ways to evaluate and can serve as a backbone for developing a standard.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Cathodic Protection (CP) design guidelines and associated equations for buried pipelines were developed for conventional trench installations, and may be poorly suited for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) installations. Pipeline segments installed by the HDD method are likely to experience coating defects and damage that are not typical in conventional trench installations. Newman, in 1966, developed CP design equations, still in use today, to represent small coating defects with an aspect ratio of less than 10, which properly describe the coating defects and damages observed in conventional trench installations. HDD installations can result in long axially-oriented coating damage with aspect ratios of 100 or more when a rock with a sharp edge scrapes against the pipeline segment being pulled through the borehole. Coating damages with a large aspect ratio are likely to experience substantially different corrosion patterns than damages with a small aspect ratio because (i) corrosion rates at the damaged locations are strongly and nonlinearly dependent on electrode potential at the exposed metal surface and (ii) the electrode potential is governed by the distance to the anode and the corrosion rate. In this paper, various options to estimate electrical current for protecting coating defect locations on the HDD-installed locations are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The preferred method of new pipeline construction for a major liquid products transmission company at significant watercourse and roadway crossings is horizontal directional drilling (HDD). This Operator is responsible for a pipeline network with a total length of over 25 000 km’s containing 100’s of HDD and bored crossings throughout North America. Pipelines installed by HDD have an increased likelihood of experiencing coating damage as opposed to those constructed through conventional open trench techniques. Currently available methods for identifying damaged coating regions within pipe installed by HDD cannot always provide absolute or accurate information on the location, size and geometry of the holidays. Although cathodic protection monitoring at HDD locations can be validated within the entry/exit extremities; the region between is either assumed or speculated. Additionally, soil resisivity variations may adversely affect CP current distribution, leaving coating some coating defects in high resistivity areas unprotected and susceptible to corrosion. The Company has initiated a comprehensive evaluation of the CP performance at HDD locations. The approach utilizes a combination of monitoring techniques and field surveys with computational modeling technology to ascertain the external corrosion threat on pipelines within HDD locations. This article discusses a proof-of-concept for measuring procedures and demonstrates how field data is applied into computational modeling for predicting the CP effectiveness throughout critical, inaccessible regions of the HDD’s.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects are increasing in popularity and frequency within the pipeline industry. With continuing pressure to reduce interruptions to the surrounding environment and increase the economical viability of the HDD process, new technologies are being developed to meet the mounting demands. By utilizing a specialized and patented technology found in a composite wrapping system, and optimizing the formulation and installation techniques specifically for fast curing times and high abrasion and impact resistance, there has been a dramatic cost and time savings value added to HDD projects. Protection of field joint coatings is a critical part of the success of these projects to insure no failures occur thereby preventing the costly need to re-pull the pipe. This paper will present the background, technical, and economical aspects of this system and its beneficial uses for HDD projects as well as some case studies from successful projects.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Pipeline owners use the HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) installation method at locations where surface obstructions or access limitations preclude conventional trenched-in construction. Linear water crossings, such as creeks, rivers, and streams, are most commonly crossed using the HDD method – as this method reduces surface disruption in these environmentally sensitive areas. The HDD process involves first preparing a directional borehole (with at least 2 significant deflections or bends), into which the pipeline is physically dragged. The substantial force required to drag the pipe into the borehole makes coating damage much more likely than for trenched-in construction. As a consequence, the areas where coating damage is most probable occurs at exactly the locations of highest environmental sensitivity and consequence! In the USA, the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) oversees the regulations governing gas and hazardous liquids pipelines. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) provide the most basic requirements for pipeline design, corrosion protection/prevention, and integrity management. However, these regulations do not presently address coating damage that may occur during construction. This paper discusses the current state of pipeline regulation in the US as it pertains to coating requirements on new construction (including pending changes) as well as recent industry research and guidance around HDD coating integrity by the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI). The objective of this paper is to educate pipeline owners, contractors, and coating applicators about the changes that have arisen in the past few years with regard to pipeline coating protection so that we can better protect the community and these very sensitive environments from pipeline leaks and ruptures.

Full textAbstract:
The horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technique is specially suited for pipeline crossings of waterways, beaches, roads, vulnerable natural regions, railroads and airports. The HDD method is a two-stage process consisting of navigating a drill stem underground along a predetermined design route and the pulling back of the product pipe through the prepared hole. One of the major problems faced in HDD projects is subsurface exploration and locating of existing underground obstacles. HDD equipment must avoid these obstacles if at all possible. This study was conducted to: 1. Determine the state-of-the-art for obstacle detection in horizontal directional drilling technology. 2. Examine all possible techniques for obstacle detection. 3. Evaluate the most promising and suitable techniques for further development. 4. Determine further work necessary to reach a 100-foot (30 m) target. 5. Make recommendations for HDD contractors.

Full textAbstract:
Drilling fluid plays a key role in the installation of a pipeline by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and accounts for the majority of the associated environmental impact. An improper drilling fluid program can result in stuck pipe. Uncontrolled discharge of drilling fluid downhole can damage or undermine adjacent structures.The cost of drilling fluid involved with pipeline installation, particularly when disposal costs are considered, can be substantial. This manual is the principal product of PRC project PR-227-9321. Its purpose is to increase the level of technical sophistication relative to drilling fluids used in the installation of pipelines by Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). It is anticipated that this increase will benefit the natural gas industry through reductions in HDD installation costs and environmental impact. The manual contains six sections which address the following general topics: 1 . The HDD installation process, the specific functions of drilling fluids in pipeline installation by HDD, and the composition of drilling fluids; 2. Characteristics of drilling fluid flow, pertinent properties of drilling fluids, and calculation methods relative to drilling fluid flow circuits; 3. Standard classification of soil and rock structures and soil and rock properties relative to drilling fluid flow; 4. The behavior of soil and rock structures relative to drilling fluid flow, general drilling fluid criteria, and general solutions to drilling problems; 5. Methods for estimating drilling fluid quantities, methods for disposing of excess drilling fluids, the environmental impact of drilling fluids used in HDD, and construction specifications relative to drilling fluids; and 6.

Full textAbstract:
Construction contractors often claim extra compensation associated with horizontally directionally drilled (HDD) pipeline installations is needed when drilling in rock. These claims result from HDD contractors' allegations that rock properties experienced during construction are significantly different from the properties on which the contractors' bids were based. This report provides information and recommendations that improve exploration and testing methods for assessing the drillability of rock to be encountered on HDD pipeline installations. These improvements will lead to a better understanding of rock drillability which will in turn lead to more accurate bid prices and more effective drilling plans. Pipeline installation costs will be reduced by reducing claims for extra work, improving contractor efficiency, and decreasing risk associated with HDD installations in rock. This report also addresses contractual considerations and alternate dispute resolution.

Full textAbstract:
Research began with a literature search to obtain relevant background material. Existing test methods were examined to determine their applicability to HDD and slip boring loads. Two generally applicable methods were identified, Technical Inspection Services (TISI) Gouge Test and the Taber Abraser Test (ASTM D 4060). To reinforce the results of the laboratory testing, a procedure was developed to verify the performance of the selected coating systems on actual HDD installations. Thios involved documentation of the general parameters of the installation, such as length, diameter, and surface conditions and then measuring the quality of the coating system after installation using the procedure developed under PRCI contract number PR-262-9738 titled "In-Situ Evaluation of Directional Drill/Bore Coating Quality, Evaluation of Test Methods". Ten (10) coating systems were selected for examination and an eleventh was added at a manufacturer's request and cost including; 3M 6352, Thanecoat TC-700, Powercrete, Lilly 2040, 3M 206N, SPC 2888, Powercrete J, Isotube, Zebron, NapRick, CeramGard ML.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the advances that have been made in the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry over the past 40 years, damage to existing underground facilities as a result of HDD operations remains a serious concern. HDD poses a unique risk of damage to underground facilities due to the fact that obstructions along the drilled path are seldom evident during construction. HDD operations also have the potential to cause damage even when a seemingly adequate separation distance is maintained between the drilled path and existing facilities. As a result of these issues, damage prevention practices in the HDD industry are becoming increasingly important as facility corridors become more congested. In order to effectively reduce the potential for facility damage resulting from HDD operations, it�s important for those involved in HDD design and construction to understand why facility damage can occur and how it can be prevented. The objective of this report is to present guidelines that will both reduce the potential for damage to existing facilities during HDD operations and improve the accuracy with which the location of completed HDD installations is documented.
