Lower Project Lifecycle Costs with Horizontal Well Technology
The superior physics of horizontal well screens avoid dead zones, provide more rapid pore volume exchange rates, and result in significantly faster time-to-closure.

While many directional drilling companies exist and do an excellent job installing subsurface utilities, Directional Technologies specializes in designing, drilling, and installing horizontal remediation wells. Even for the most experienced environmental consultants, utilizing a foreign technology can be an intimidating endeavor – particularly when remedial expectations of the client are a high priority.
During site characterization, it was discovered that the initial release had not been fully remediated and that the present-day groundwater contaminant plume covered a large area. With a large area to remediate, several businesses impacted, sensitive receptors in the area, and a renewed regulatory interest in assuring that the contamination issues be resolved for good, here’s how one of our clients teamed up with Directional Technologies to implement their remedial strategy incorporating horizontal air sparge and SVE wells.
A chemical release associated with the train derailment has garnered nationwide attention and there are some lessons from East Palestine in horizontal treatability. The incident has raised concerns over air quality and water quality in the surrounding areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Horizontal air sparging is one of the most effective methods to remediate certain types of subsurface contamination.
Projects with high permeability soils often require fewer horizontal remediation wells due to the high radius of influence that can be achieved using Directional Technologies’ custom engineered site-specific well screen design.
Environmental consultants have relied on horizontal remediation wells (HRWs) to deal with some of their most challenging remediation projects. With many experienced consultants seeking to expand their remediation toolkit and new consultants entering the field looking to learn about specialized remediation techniques, it is beneficial to be aware of what types of remediation can be using horizontal wells.
A brief criteria checklist to help determine if your project site can significantly benefit from horizontal wells. The more criteria your projects meet, the more benefit your client will receive from horizontal remediation.
There are various scenarios that present a compelling reason to evaluate replacing aging vertical mitigation/remediation wells with horizontal wells.
