Directional drilling is the controlled steering of a wellbore along a planned 3D path to reach subsurface targets that are not vertically aligned with the surface location. It spans planning through ...

Beaches Energy Services of Jacksonville Beach, Florida -- along with contractor Heart Utilities of Jacksonville, Florida -- demonstrate directional, horizontal boring, pulling 400 feet of conduit to ...

Choosing the right size horizontal directional drill (HDD) for utility work can be a real challenge. Trying to manage multiple customers in multiple locations and varying ground conditions can ...

Directional drilling technologies have revolutionised the extraction of subsurface resources by enabling precise control over borehole trajectories and optimising well placement. These techniques ...

At-a-Glance: Machine learning optimizes directional drilling by predicting rock/BHA response and issuing steering and parameter setpoints that maximize ROP while constraining dogleg, tortuosity, and ...
