DNV GL Launches Standard to Improve HDD Use for Pipelines

摘要

Anew standard for site investigation, engineering, planning and execution of pipeline installation through horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has been published by DNV GL, the technical advisor to the oil and gas industry. The new standard, DNVGL-ST-F121, was created through a joint industry project (JIP) and provides a series of minimum requirements and best practices for all phases, from site investigation, engineering and planning to execution of pipeline installation, to reduce the risk associated to HDD crossings.
