Directional drilling Tooling Provides Key to Rock Drilling in Missouri

摘要

At present, a large horizontal directional drilling and trenching project is taking place that extends over three states and encompasses more than 30-plus miles of new and replacement natural gas infrastructure. The project will provide gas service to thousands of residents and also ensures continued work for hundreds over the next year or so. The following describes one of the many directional drilling jobs required on this project along with some issues they encountered. The bore hole is predominantly in rock and required specialized tooling to complete it within the required time frame.
