The specialized construction method for sensitive areas and large waterways is known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD). It is also applied in oil and gas drilling exploration due to its usefulness for creating underground pipelines stretching long distances. With the right horizontal directional drilling equipment, you can easily create a tunnel under a particular area, like a waterway, and you can apply a utility or a pipeline through it. Highly trained technicians and advanced technology go together for successful operations. As the drilling equipment works, the tunnel must be lubricated and kept open by circulating a mixture of watery mud slurry, which is made up of five percent bentonite clay and around 95 percent water. The process also eliminates drill cuttings and coats the tunnel walls.
Shale Pumps carries high-quality horizontal drilling equipment to suit your operations. The methods and equipment used in HDD processes are similar to those used in oil well drilling rigs, but this time, the horizontal drilling rig has an inclined ramp, not a vertical mast. Operations to create the HDD pilot hole are unlike the process of drilling direction oil wells. This time, drill pipes and the downhole tools are interchangeable, and the drilling fluid is administered throughout the process to carry drilled spoil, stabilize the hole, and reduce friction among other functions.
Horizontal drilling equipment must be rugged and heavy-duty to serve a wide variety of purposes. Shale Pumps carries high-quality HDD equipment that is guaranteed to provide the best performance, regardless of the challenges you face in drilling. Every directional drilling process, such as pre-reaming, pipe pullback, and pilot hole, is accomplished with precision, as required by a horizontal drilling technique. Pumps are HDD grade and have passed a series of checks to ensure quality, reliability, and error-free operations. Each equipment goes through a series of detailed scrutiny before it is delivered to your site.
