Just like any other technology, directional drilling technique too has evolved with time. There have been recent innovations that has quicken up the process of drilling with minimum disruption to the surrounding area. This piece by We Bore It has highlighted the importance of implementing directional boring/drilling and the recent innovations occurred in it.

1. Latest innovations in
Directional Boring/Drilling

2. ● Also known as Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD, is a
drilling, boring, installing or replacing method.
● It is used to install pipes for different purposes.
● It can also be called as the trenchless method.
● It is the method of drilling holes by the means of a drilling rig.
● It is a very modern method and different from the usual time
consuming trench methods.
Introduction

5. Recent innovations in the
Drilling Industry

6. #1 Seismic Technique
●
It is a recently used technique in drilling.
●
Seismic means to use the energy of the sound to
check the formation of the rock which helps in
determining whether there are water, oil or gas
bearings.
●
This helps the companies to find the gas and oil
reserves.

8. #2 Controlled deviation of a hole
The well depth can
go several feet with
this method. It can
also be applied in
sensitive areas.

9. #3 Horizontal Directional Drilling
Horizontal Drilling is a one step further than the
directional drilling. It drills in horizontal direction. It
can drill multiple directional drills through just one
point.

10. #3 Hydro jet
The Hydro jet technology helps in getting more
access to the oil or gas reserves through the already
present holes.

11. We-Bore-It has been providing directional boring & trenching
services to the Cable, Telecommunications and Wireless industry
since 1990. The company was founded with the idea of uniting
multiple contracting companies under one umbrella company.
After years in the industry, and valuable feedback from customers
and partners it became clear that they wanted us to expand our
operations from that of local to that of a regional or even
nationwide operator.
