The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) estimates approximately 41,000 miles of pipeline and an additional 139,000 miles of gathering lines will be added now through 2035 to transport oil, gas and natural gas liquids. The use of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) provides a large role in minimizing surface disturbance and environmental impacts in construction through sensitive areas. Exactly what is this technology and how does it work?
Join us for April's webinar with Brian Younkin, project engineer with Directed Technologies Drilling, as he discusses what horizontal directional drilling is, how it works, its impacts, and safe practices in the use of this process. "The Mariner East 2 pipeline 303-mile project includes more than 240 sections of trenchless crossing, the majority of these being HDD", Younkin said. "HDD allows placing pipeline underground, decreasing the need to trench on the surface and minimizing damage in ecosystems."
Those interested in oil and gas development and the technologies used.
