    2/2

    Objective

    The objective of this JIP is to join interested operators, contractors,engineering companies, drilling companies, authorities and other

    groups or individuals in order to evaluate and agree on a guideline

    for planning, design and execution horizontal directional drillings.

    The main idea is to consolidate the knowledge and experiencesfrom several HDD projects worldwide in order to elaborate a

    guideline for HDD projects intended to guarantee the quality of theproject and the success of the operation.

    The final objective is to prepare a Guideline on HDD complying

    not only traditional surface to surface crossings but also shore

    approach crossings. This guideline will be confidential to the

    sponsors for a limited period before it is updated and converted to

    a DNV Recommended Practice on Horizontal Directional Drilling.

    Outline Scope

    The JIP will address the following aspects:

    Design Basis: HDD design:

    HDD Planning:

    Project documentation:

    Only steel pipelines will be covered.

    JIP Technical Activities

    As a minimum, the following aspects will be addressed.

    Design Basis

    The following areas shall be addressed:

    Technical feasibility / Site investigation:o Pre-construction inspection;o Topographic and Hydrographic Considerations;o Data Acquisition;o Geophysical and geological data integration;

    HDD design

    The following areas shall be addressed:

    Drill-Path Design;o Entry and Exit Angle / Length / Depth of Cover /

    Design Radius of Curvature;

    o Pilot hole / Tracking and Surveying;o

    Reaming;

    Pullback forces / design calculations;

    Equipment and materials;o Machine Size Selection: pullback considerations, torque

    and RPM considerations, pumping capacity, etc.;

    o Drilling fluid issues;

    o Down-hole equipment and tools: drill bit, reamers, pullhead, mud motors, specialized tools such as fishing

    tools, etc

    Steel casing (if applicable);

    Pipeline issues:o Installation strategies: pipe string position related to the

    pipe entry point and drilling axis of the crossing;

    o Pipe stress criteria;o External coating requirements;o Cathodic protection;o On-bottom stability prior pullback for offshore

    pipelines;

    o Exit point issues for offshore pipelines (stability, free-

    span, local scour);o Pipeline test prior and after pullback;

    HDD Planning

    The following areas shall be addressed:

    Detail each step of the process;

    Risk investigations and mitigations;

    HDD Execution procedure;

    Marine Operations for shore crossing HDD;

    Contingency procedures;

    HDD Project documentation:

    The following areas shall be addressed:

    Minimum documentation requirements and scope:o input and output data;o field readings;o as built reports, etc.;

    Note that other relevant aspects not mentioned above may be

    added to the scope of this JIP by suggestion and agreement

    between participants.
