Detailed HDD Design
- Determine entry/exit angles, arc radius, and required depth of cover
- Integration of geotechnical information, drilling and pipe design into AutoCAD
- Assess pull force, bending and tensile stresses applied to the product pipe
- Incorporate conservative design parameters to ensure anomalies encountered during construction can be accommodated
- Incorporate Safe Drilling and hole opening operational practices
- Ensure layout area, pipeline tie-ins, and other construction site conditions are suitable
- Incorporate suitable pipe pulling and lifting plans for final installation
Hydro Fracture Mitigation & Response Programs
- Drill path design incorporating suitable depth of cover
- Surface casing installation plan ensuring competent seal
- Drilling fluid pressure analysis, monitoring and management plan
- Drilling fluid design Optimization

Annular Pressure Monitoring & Management Programs
Drilling Fluid Pressure Management Systems
- Annular pressure is the pressure acting on the formation during the drilling process
- Annular pressure will increase under the following conditions
- Borehole instability causing sloughing
- Poor cuttings removal causing annulus loading
- Improper drilling fluid parameters
- Annular pressure will decrease under the following conditions
- Fluid loss due to fracture
- Low density drilling fluids
- Efficient hole cleaning
- Annular pressure monitoring is essential in the prevention of hydro-fracture during the drilling and reaming processes.
