In the VDO, it stated that this was a false calculation which was result this directional drilling disaster. However, when we see this footage, we don’t really believe that this situation was happened for oil and gas drilling.

Why Do We Think Like This?

Firstly, from the technical perspective, it is very difficult to drill almost 180 degree from a vertical line (0 degree inclination). There are no oil and gas directional drilling tools as far as we know which can do this task. Secondly, it is very hard to believe that the directional drilling team do the wrong calculation because inclination changes are so obvious.

What Is This?

You may ask us what this vdo is if it is not oil and gas drilling. We try to find information from the internet and we’ve found that “Horizontal Directional Drilling” is the drilling technique of installing underground pipes, conduits and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path by using a surface-launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
