Klostermansfeld Railway Crossing

Stargard Railway Crossing

Burg- Stargard, Germany
Distance: 385m
Depth: 13m
Product pipe: HDPE 160 m
Entry / Exit Angle: 13° , 13°
Tracking Used: #ParaTrack-2
Technique used: #Jetting

Another #successful project performed under a railway line, in Germany. On this project an 80Ton rig was utilized. The ground was full of gravel and stones rendering this a difficult job.
On the plan view, there was a recorded 5° angle in Entry and 5° angle on Exit.

Doctors Without Borders

For some years now, Prime Horizontal has contributed a percentage of every dollar received to Doctors without Borders, Medecins sans Frontiers. As an international company, when looking for a social cause for contributions, I considered that the work done by these doctors, in many of the worlds most difficult areas in times of emergencies, was the perfect fit for Prime. We are proud to place their contact information on our site to take you direct to their website should you wish to know more about them or wish to contribute yourselves.

Shock Tooling for Motor Drilling is Now Provided

Prime Horizontal is proud to announce the provision of shock tooling for motor drilling for HDD applications for sale or rental. Our rental fleet of shock tools are all serviced in-house by our specialist and experienced technicians based in Beverwijk, Netherlands. The use of shock tools when drilling with a mud motor reduces vibration on the drill string and helps keep a constant weight on bit. This reduces shocks to the drill bit which prolongs bit life and optimizes the rate of penetration.

Four intersects for a CBM Project in Scotland are Completed

Prime Horizontal is pleased to announce the recent successful completion of 4 active ranging intersects for a coal bed methane (CBM) project in Scotland using the Rotating Magnetic Ranging System (RMRS). A previous test well completed in 2012 was the first such active ranging intersect in the British Isles, and was the first use of this technology for a CBM project in Europe. The four intersects were completed in under two weeks, which represents a considerable time saving for the client compared to the alternative technology that involves passive ranging and sidetracks to make the intersect.

Intersect Drilling Pioneered by Prime Horizontal

Since 2003 Prime has pioneered underground intersect drilling, in which pilot holes are drilled from both the entry side of a crossing and the exit side of a crossing usually simultaneously with two drill rigs and meet underground in the middle of the track. To date Prime’s track record is a 100% success rate having completed more than 50 intersect projects, setting several world records along the way. Prime has completed intersect projects with heavy gravels on both sides of a crossing, to lower annular pressures in alluvial formations and to complete long reach HDD projects (more than 1,000 meter lengths).

Prime Horizontal Introduces New ProData Service

Prime Horizontal has developed a cost effective system, called ProData, specifically for the HDD industry for measuring drilling parameters and displaying them at the rig and in client offices. This system is designed to eliminate the gap between on-site operations and office management. The basic sensor package consists of the measurements of push/pull, torque, carriage position and speed, drill rotational speed and mud pressure at the rig. Rig data are sent from a GPRS modem to a highly secure database. A separate server, linked to this database, acts as the web portal to the client. The client interface is extremely user friendly and customizable.
