Effect of the HDD drilling mud on the environment
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Druzgała, Angelika; Formela, Małgorzata Maria
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method commonly used for laying various types of pipelines and cables. It is a common way of routing a technological line from one point to another by directional drilling under obstacles or in ecologically sensitive areas. The HDD can be used, for example, under rivers, roads or slopes where conventional excavation technologies would not be cost effective, reliable or may be environmentally invasive. One of the important elements influencing the success of horizontal directional drilling is a drilling fluid appropriately selected for the drilling conditions. The mentioned drilling fluid may, however, be a threat to the environment, therefore, in order to prevent it, it must be properly stored and disposed of.
