'Back to the Future' A Revived Horizontal Directional Drilling Alternative EBB-Environmental Beneficial Boring

摘要

Conventional Horizontal Directional Drilling technology has reached serious limits vis-à-visrntoday’s strict environmental regulations that impose a "zero" tolerance for drilling mud fracturingrnto the surface. An approach developed and patented nearly 25 years ago promises a viablernsolution by enhancing the ability to drill extended horizontal distances and in environmentallyrnsensitive areas.
