Download or read book Development of a Standard Specification for Horizontal Directional Drilling written by Alan Atalah and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) has become one of the fastest-growing trenchless technology construction methods for the installation of underground pipelines and conduits. According to the board of directors of the Ohio Horizontal Directional Drilling Association (OHDDA), there are many HDD specifications employed in Ohio, and these specifications vary significantly in their content and requirements. Consequently, inferior products may have been installed, unnecessary risks may have been taken, and the competition among contractors may have been compromised. Therefore, a HDD specification that provides for high quality installations, allocates risks appropriately, and ensures correct design and installation of product pipes without damaging the roadway is needed. The proposed draft was based on comparison of more than 12 existing HDD specifications with the HDD Good Practice Guidelines and the collective input from professional partners representing the interest of the various entities involved in a typical HDD project. The research team along with the professional partners proposed draft specification for pressurized applications with pipe diameters in the range of 4 inches (10 cm) to 24 inches (60 cm). Installations outside this range of pipe sizes and gravity installations are beyond the scope of the specification. The implementation plan for the draft specification includes ODOT review to ensure it does not conflict with other ODOT specifications, ODOT evaluation of the proposed specification through use on an actual project, feedback from the larger interest groups across the state of Ohio, and update as needed.
Download or read book Development of a Model for Productivity of Horizontal Directional Drilling HDD written by Mohmd Sarireh and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a growing method for installation of pipes in urban areas and where trenching is impossible or undesirable; such as in crossing rivers, lakes, railways, and special areas such as airports. This technique utilizes downhole cutting heads to create a pilot borehole before it is enlarged with back reamers to allow pulling back of a product pipe. The utilization of HDD for the installation of underground infrastructure (i.e., water, wastewater, oil and gas pipes, telecommunication, and power conduits), has shown a rapid growth compared to other trenchless technologies. HDD can install a range of pipe diameters from 2 to 60 inches utilizing different pipe materials including steel, high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and ductile iron pipe (DIP) with minimum surface and daily life disruptions. Estimation of HDD productivity, project duration, and quantity of materials required, is a difficult task due to variable productivity conditions such soil, project, contractor, and machine conditions involved in operation. The objectives of this research are to define the significant subconditions that affect HDD productivity by utilizing the analysis of variance (ANOVA) model, to develop HDD productivity prediction model, and to develop HDD user interface as a planning tool for operation. Initially the main productivity conditions and subconditions were identified through literature review and consulting the HDD experts and professionals. A HDD questionnaire was designed, reviewed, and sent to HDD experts (contractors, design engineers, and consultants) to collect data addressing HDD operation conditions required for testing significance of subconditions and modeling operation productivity. HDD subconditions that show significance by ANOVA model analysis will be used to model HDD productivity in clayey and rocky conditions. This model is applicable in predicting HDD productivity to estimate duration of HDD project, in addition to other project parameters such as quantities of materials required and cost of labor. Applications on HDD productivity model will be useful for consultants and contractors for planning, scheduling, and bidding of HDD projects during preconstruction stage, as well as during installation and construction.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a growing and expanding trenchless method utilized to install pipelines from 2 to 60 inch diameters for lengths over 10,000 foot. To date, there are not many public documents where direct costs and bid prices incurred by HDD installations are available and analyzed. The objective is to provide a better understanding of the factors affecting the bid prices of these projects. The first section of the thesis analyzes how project parameters such as product diameter, bore length and soil conditions affect the bid price of water and wastewater pipeline installations using HDD. Through multiple linear regressions, the effect of project parameters on bid prices of small, medium and large rigs projects is extracted. The results were further investigated to gain a better understanding of bid factors that influence the relationship between total cost and the project parameters. The second section uses unit cost, based on bid prices, to compare the costs incurred by defined categories. Parameters such as community type, product type, soil conditions, and geographical region were used in the analysis. Furthermore, using average unit cost from 2001 to 2009, HDD project cost trends are briefly analyzed against the main variations of the US economy from the same time horizon by using economic indicators. It was determined that project geometric factors influence more the bid price of small rig projects than large rig projects because external factors including market rates and economic situation have an increasing impact on bid prices when rig size increases. It was observed that bid price variation of HDD projects over years followed the same trend as the US economic variation described by economic indicators.

Book excerpt: Cementing is arguably the most important operation performed on a well. Well cementing technology is an amalgam of many interdependent scientific and engineering disciplines which are essential to achieve the primary goal of well cementing - zonal isolation. This textbook is a comprehensive and up-to-date reference concerning the application of these disciplines to cementing a well.``Well Cementing'' is envisioned as an upper-level university book, as well as a reference for practicing engineers and scientists. The first section of the book illustrates how the quality of the hydraulic seal provided by the cement sheath can affect well performance. The second section concentrates on the design phase of a cementing treatment, and various aspects of cement job execution are covered in the third section. The fourth section addresses cement job evaluation. The text is supported by many tables and figures, an extensive bibliography and an index. There are also chapters devoted to subjects which are currently of particular interest to the industry, including the prevention of annular gas migration, foamed cements, and cementing horizontal wellbores. The chemistry associated with well cementing is presented in detail.Most of the contributors to this volume are employees of Dowell Schlumberger, one of the leading companies in this field.
