The exploration department at Cogema Resources ... recognized the technical difficulties and expense encountered in drilling deep vertical holes. The solution was a technique called navigational drilling (or Navi-drilling) that was used in the oil industry and, less often, in mining. ... Simply put, navi-drilling allows operators to begin drilling a new hole 500 to 600 metres below the surface by using a pre-existing "pilot hole." This significantly reduces costs as the same hole is used for up to six navi-drilling holes. A steerable motor with a rotor system turns a cutting bit. The motor is powered by hydraulic force created by the mixture of water and drilling muds pumped inside the drill string. The fluid is pumped through the motor and returns to the surface at a rate of up to 250 litres per minute. [Followed by an illustration of a schematic cross-section showing navi-drilling holes.] 2, record 3, English, - navigational%20drilling

Newbergh Industries Limited ("Newbergh") has developed and patented a technology which will greatly enhance the steering currently being used in oil and gas field directional drilling. This technology, which is known under the acronym of "HANDS", which stands for Hydraulic Activated Navigational Drilling System, will be incorporated in a so-called benthousing, which will make this piece of equipment remote adjustable whilst drilling for the first time. Its implication will improve drilling performance in terms of speed as well as quality and will result in considerable cost savings for the oil companies and savings in energy to drill the bore holes. 6, record 3, English, - navigational%20drilling

As underground development proceeds to production levels, a return air raise(RAR) will be installed approximately 270 metres north west of the Hart Shaft and allow the Hart Shaft to revert to a second fresh air intake source. The site for the RAR, which will probably be 4. 0 metres in diameter, has been confirmed following vertical navi drilling and the use of a RAAX digital imaging borehole camera to geotechnically assess the insitu ground conditions. 3, record 3, English, - navigational%20drilling

forage multilatéral : proposition de M. Stéphane Ménand, du Centre de géotechnique et d'exploitation du sous-sol, de l'École des mines de Paris. Nous hésitons cependant à recommander son emploi, étant donné que l'adjectif «multilatéral» n'est attesté que dans les domaines de l'économie et de la politique, pour désigner ce qui concerne les rapports entre des États. Nous pensons que «multibranche» ou «en faisceaux» sont préférables. (nov. 2002) 1, record 3, French, - forage%20multibranche

Notre société a construit plus de 1200 traversées par la méthode brevetée du Forage Horizontal Dirigé, dans toutes les parties du monde. [...] À ses débuts, le forage directionnel horizontal se limitait aux sols alluvionnaires tels que sable, limon et argile. Finalement, à la demande de ses clients, ses applications se sont étendues aux terrains rocheux. [...] Une autre application attractive du forage directionnel est l'installation de nombreux pipelines sur un parcours de forage commun. L'avantage principal des faisceaux de pipelines est la possibilité pour le client de limiter la quantité de droits de passage en dessous d'une voie d'eau ou d'un autre obstacle. HDI a fixé le standard pour des faisceaux de pipelines grâce à des installations dans le monde entier plus nombreuses que celles réalisés par les autres entreprises de forage directionnel. Les principales réalisations d'installations de faisceaux comprennent l'installation d'un faisceau de douze pipelines de 150 mm de diamètre sous la rivière Peene en Allemagne et de quatre pipelines de 300 mm de diamètre au-dessous du Mississippi aux États Unis. 3, record 3, French, - forage%20multibranche

Resistance to Temperature. ASTM Recommended Practice D 794 describes high-temperature testing for plastics. Only the procedure for heat exposure is specified, the test method being governed by the potential end use. Heat is applied using an oven with controlled air flow and with substantial fresh air intake. Two types of tests are described : continuous heat and cyclic heat. In the former, heat is gradually increased until failure occurs. Failure is defined as a change in appearance, weight, dimension, or other property that alters the material to a degree that it is no longer serviceable for the purpose in question. The test may take minutes to weeks, depending on the rate of temperature increase. The cyclic heat test repeatedly applies heat of a constant value until failure. 1, record 4, English, - cyclic%20heat%20test
