The concept of directional drilling involves drilling wells at multiple angles (including vertical drilling), to reach the reserves. In Oil & Gas sector, directional drilling including HDD has advanced technologically in terms of drilling multiple holes.

Today, a single vertical hole is drilled up to a certain depth, and from there the drill bits can be taken in multiple angular directions that run parallel to the ground. This directional drilling helps in reducing environmental impact which was high in the case of multiple puncturing.

Improvements in drilling sensors and GOS (Global Positioning Systems) have helped attain immense improvements in horizontal directional drilling technology. Today, the drill bit angle can be controlled with high accuracy and real-time data acquisition technologies.

This helps in providing multiple solutions to drilling challenges like tool failure, mud extraction, and accurate angular movement to hit the reserve amongst others. The tools utilized to achieve directional drilling are whip stocks, bottom-hole assembly (BHA) configurations, 3-D measuring devices, mud motors, and specialized (diamond core) drill bits.

The tools and techniques used in horizontal directional drilling process in the oil and gas industry have eventually led to this technology being applied to other end-use industries like telecommunications, energy & utilities, and electric transmission systems (underground) to connect underground pipelines, beach pull of underground pipelines, lay optic fiber cables, join existing cables with new fibers and duct laying amongst others.

Earlier a trench was to be excavated to initiate the drilling process including HDD. But now with the advent of technologies, HDD tools can be set up in a trenchless environment that has further minimized environmental impact. The trenchless technology allows obstacles like rivers, roads, terrain, mountains, roads & residential areas and other protection zones to be crossed underground. This underground pipeline is also better protected against external influences like surrounding pressure and natural calamities like earthquakes.

The components used for horizontal drilling in the case of telecommunication cables, utilities, and electrical transmission set-up are similar to those utilized in oil well drilling rigs. The drill pipe and down-hole tools are generally interchangeable. Drilling fluid is used throughout the operation to reduce friction and stabilize the hole from extremely high pressure built due to a hole drilled. Except for the oil and gas sector, HDD utilized for other end-use industry sometimes use boring instead of drilling especially when machines are used to extract underground water. Otherwise, drilling is the common terminology used in case of puncturing holes into the ground.
