Choosing the right size horizontal directional drill (HDD) for utility work can be a real challenge. Trying to manage multiple customers in multiple locations and varying ground conditions can ...

At-a-Glance: Machine learning optimizes directional drilling by predicting rock/BHA response and issuing steering and parameter setpoints that maximize ROP while constraining dogleg, tortuosity, and ...

Directional drilling technologies have revolutionised the extraction of subsurface resources by enabling precise control over borehole trajectories and optimising well placement. These techniques ...
