The project is part of a 4.5-mile long pipeline for Fasken Oil & Ranch’s oil & gas operations in West Texas’ Permian Basin. We had a great team with Fasken Oil & Ranch and Kingsley Constructors (pipeline subcontractor) to help make this such a successful drill.” “There is less delay and less downtime when we’re able to come in beforehand and see the potential problems. “Our success in the industry has been in getting involved in complicated projects on the front end and help develop a constructable design in the beginning,” said Hard Rock Directional Drilling’s Cory Baker. RELATED: Hard at Work with Hard Rock Directional Drilling Ultimately, a route spanning 8,400-plus ft was selected. The project was initially envisioned as a short crossing of Highway 191 in Midland, but as the planning and permitting process evolved, the simple crossing was no longer an option, and the length went from hundreds of feet to thousands due to right-of-way restraints, utility conflicts and surface limitations. Hard Rock Directional Drilling has carved a niche in the HDD market since its founding in 2003 and, in fact, had Fasken as one of its first clients. Hard Rock Directional Drilling was working with the project owner, Fasken Oil & Ranch, for approximately three years. For its accomplishments, the Hard Rock Directional Drilling 8,400-ft Midland, Texas, bore has been named the Trenchless Technology 2019 Project of the Year for New Installation.Ĭompleting a project of this magnitude is not an accident. The successful project demonstrated how experience, planning and execution can come together to showcase the industry’s capabilities. In 2018, San Antonio-based contractor Hard Rock Directional Drilling completed a long-distance, large-diameter pipeline installation through rock in Midland, Texas. Is everything really bigger in Texas? If HDD projects are any indication, the old adage may actually be true.
