Three Environmental Benefits Of Directional Drilling Services

Posted on

Directional drilling offers numerous benefits that help to increase natural gas production and stability as well as improve efficiency. Using directional drilling doesn't just extend the life of a well, it also maximises oil output. And the more productive a well is, the less work will be required in the future. Directional drilling is also environmentally friendly because they don't strip away land or disturb the surrounding areas. Here are just three environmental benefits of directional drilling services.

1. Direction Drilling Has Less Impact On The Land

It can be difficult to avoid having an impact on nature when you are working on a construction project. However, directional drilling services are environmentally friendly because they don't create large trenches across the landscape. Instead, these services use horizontal drilling technology to lay pipes as deep underground as necessary. This drilling practice can significantly reduce the amount of disruption that a construction project causes to the environment.

When you work with a directional drilling service, your workers will only have to drill one small hole in the ground. After this hole is drilled, a horizontal drill will be used to lay pipe through the earth without disrupting its surface. This drilling process can save you time and money while also allowing you to create less damage on your property or construction site.

2. Directional Drilling Means A Reduced Risk Of Groundwater Contamination

Directional drilling means that you don't need to drill a well in a traditional manner, where you dig up the earth and use heavy machinery to reach the oil or gas. Instead, directional drilling allows you to drill diagonally towards your target source of oil or gas, and this means that there is less risk of groundwater contamination.

This is great news for anyone who lives near the drilling site. It also means that if there was an accident, such as a blowout, there would be a reduced risk of damage to groundwater supplies and other water sources.

3.  Directional Drilling Uses Less Equipment And Fewer People 

Traditional drilling services involve bringing a lot of heavy equipment and people to a site and working on them over a long period of time. Since directional drilling involves less digging, it requires smaller crews and fewer pieces of equipment to get the job done. This means less gas used and fewer emissions pumped into the atmosphere because of your project.

Directional drilling is possible in areas where traditional drilling may not be. This means that a smaller workforce is required to operate the equipment, and more of it can be re-used. This is beneficial for both environmental and economic concerns in the surrounding area. Chat with a contractor for more information about directional drilling services.
