Before breaking the news to your client that you’re going to need to involve a sonic drilling rig to install remediation wells, consider how horizontal directional drilling techniques can be used to overcome these difficult conditions.
The difference between a high-performing or underperforming horizontal remediation well can often come down to small details, which can lead to uncertainty over system performance. When it comes to remediation system design, there will always be variables in the field that will affect how remediation wells will operate that won’t be fully understood until remedial construction is complete.
Applications that provide higher performance, faster cleanup, and less disruption compared to vertical wells. Whether you are new to horizontal wells or are looking for more opportunities to benefit from the industry’s highest-performing in situ remediation techniques, this resource is intended to help you expand your knowledge on the advanced tools available for your next complex project.
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.
