Horizontal Drilling Workshop summary report for the arid integrated demonstration program

The United States Department of Energy`s (DOE) Horizontal Drilling Workshop was held at Cavanaughs Motor Inn, in Kennewick, Washington, on May 12-13, 1992. The objective of the workshop was to obtain information about the latest deep horizontal drilling methods, that may be applicable at DOE facilities (specifically those having arid site geologic settings). Presentations included existing technologies and technologies that are currently under development. There was no attempt at the workshop or in the closed door session which followed to evaluate, rate, or select any specific drilling company who participated in the workshop. The workshop was held in two sessions. The first session was open to the public and consisted of presentations from local experts on the Hanford Site and from four horizontal drilling contractors. The second was a closed door session designed to discuss the horizontal drilling needs at DOE sites. This report is organized into two parts to document both sessions of the workshop.
