OPTIMUM continues to grow its portfolio of international clients in the oil and gas industry with a new contract in Peru.
Acutely aware of the importance of a thorough site visit from the outset, OPTIMUM flew a trenchless specialist to Lima this week to see the context and constraints for himself.
The project, a 2000m Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) crossing under a vast river delta in the north of Peru, will form part of a new natural gas pipeline being installed within the framework of the country’s energy transition policy.
OPTIMUM engineers will now monitor the geotechnical and geophysical investigations, draft the method statement and design the drilling profile. Given the jobsite environment and the potential for surface breakouts, specific modelling and hydrofracture analysis will also be conducted to mitigate risks and ensure smoother drilling operations.
