Congratulations Prime Horizontal #America on the underwater work for water facility in Pierre, South Dakota.!
Tracking used: #ParaTrack2
Location: Pierre, South Dakota
Distance: 720ft.
Depth: 26ft.
Entry Angle: 11 degrees
Exit Angle: 90 degrees
Pipeline: 4 inch HDPE SDR 7 inside of 24 inch PVC #pipe
Technique: Land to River
#SurfaceCoil with the help of divers laying coil on the river bottom.
The project was designed to bring drinking #water from the Missouri River to the city of Pierre, SD. Our engineer had to stay within tight tolerances to keep the product pipe inside the installed Caisson. Central Trenchless was our client for the project and Shaun Houim, owner of Central Trenchless, was elated to see the results of the project.

Highway 61 crossing
March 30, 2021 by Joseph
Filed under Prime Blog
Kudos to Challenger Drilling Inc. & Prime Horizontal America on the #successful Gyro Module guided Highway 61 crossing
Location: Baton Rouge, LA
Tracking used: #GyroModule combined with the #ACBeacon
Distance: 1764 ft (538m)
Depth: 100ft (30m)
Product Pipe: 2 x 8” steel
Entry/Exit Angle: 12/6
Technique: Highway & Railroad Crossing
Job difficulty was high as this is a congested #pipeline corridor with numerous existing pipelines. Access to the crossing & job site was done by air boat as project was surrounded by swamp/marsh. No surface coil was used, instead the Gyro Module was the primary source of guidance, with the AC Beacon confirming the drill location under Highway 61.

Taichung Harbour Intersect Crossing, Taiwan

Filed under Prime Blog
One more for the #PrimeHorizontal #Australasia team on the Taichung Harbour Intersect Crossing
Technique: #Intersect
Tracking used: Gyro Module & #ParaTrack2 and AC Beacon
Location: Taichung Taiwan
Distance: 1367m
Depth: 40m
Horizontal Curve: 1500m
Entry Angle: 12deg
Exit Angle: 10deg
Ground: Cobble, Clay and Sand
Pipeline: 36” steel pipeJob Description:
The crossing was completed by Intersect method, using the ParaTrack Gyro Module drilling from the south (1097m) and underground coil drilling from the North, at which point the #ParaTrack Steering Tool was in range of the AC Beacon and surface coil. The intersect was completed without any ranging due to the vertical and horizontal accuracy of the #GyroModule, #Beacon and surface coil tracking combination.

Throwback: Gyro Module job in Plock, Poland end of 2020
February 24, 2021 by Joseph
Filed under Prime Blog
#PrimeHorizontal #Europe
Throwback Thursday #successtory to end 2020:
Gyro Module job in Plock, Poland
Tracking used: #GyroModule, #ParaTrack2 and Pressure Whilst Drilling (#PWD)
Distance: 698m (2,290’)
Water distance: 534m (1,750’)
True Vertical Depth: 41 m (134’)
Cover under riverbed: 27 m (88’)
Entry coil: 43m (141’)
Exit coil: 110m (360’)
Formation: Clay
BHA: Motor Assembly (Mud motor 6 ¾” + 12 ¼” bit)
This complex project started with a 2 degree bend setting on a 6 ¾” mud motor, and a 12 ¼” bit. The ground was variable initially which caused the usual issues, eventually as we drilled along the profile the adjustable bent housing allowed us to change the motor bend, to 2.24 degrees, on the job site to be more aggressive.
The predominant formation was clay.
The project was designed to cross under the Largest Polish river whilst utilizing the pressure whilst drilling throughout the complete crossing for monitoring returns.
Crossing length 698m. 6m long drill pipes 5″ and on a 600KN Rig.
The Pilot Hole was #successfullycompleted with great teamwork and experience, which enabled us to complete a job with a #great result.

N-Net Japan PGM project

Filed under Prime Blog
#Kudos to #PrimeHorizontal #Australasia
N-Net Japan PGM project: Observation Network for Earthquakes & Tsunamis
Distance: 773m
Depth: 82m
Entry/ Exit angle: 20°/ 10°
Horizontal curve: 23.4°
Product Pipe Installed: Drill pipe 5”
Tracking used: #ParaTrack #GyroModule, surface coil & #ACBeacon (BTS)
Technique: 6 ¾” Mud motor (Outfall)
We were required to drill the pilot bore from the top of the mountain through a 2m steel circular intermediate shaft, 48m below Entry elevation located at shoreline 132m away from the entry point, the intermediate shaft was required to control the mud pressure whilst drilling below the seabed. After running steel casing from entry to intermediate shaft, Pilot drilling continued drilling 641m out to sea turning 23.4° before punching out on the seabed with a 10° exit angle.
A 60m surface coil in combination with the #BTS (AC Beacon) was used as secondary tracking between the entry point and the intermediate shaft to confirm the elevation before continuing through the shaft to exit. The ParaTrack Gyro Module was utilized from entry until punch out on the sea Floor, exit position was verified by Divers and the DHA removed 16m below sea level.
