Hydraulic Fracture FRAC OUT Analysis for Horizontal Directional Drilling with David Willoughby

In this informative webinar, hosted by Technical Toolboxes, we dive into the intricacies of hydraulic fracture analysis, often referred to as "Frac Out," during Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) operations. Led by industry expert David Willoughby, with over 40 years of experience in HDD and pipeline integrity, this session covers essential topics including:

Introduction to hydraulic fractures (Frac Out) and inadvertent returns
Explanation of cavity expansion models and their application in predicting frac out
Safety factors and soil modeling techniques to ensure pipeline integrity
Real-time demonstration of the HDD PowerTool software for analyzing hydraulic fractures
Learn how to properly assess and prevent the risks of frac out while ensuring the stability of boreholes in various soil conditions using advanced engineering methods.

🔑 Key Features of This Webinar:

Detailed walkthrough of the Delft equation and cavity expansion theory
Insights into modeling soil conditions and confining strengths
Practical demo of the HDD PowerTool for simulating real-world scenarios
Whether you're new to HDD or looking to refine your understanding of hydraulic fracture risks, this webinar provides valuable knowledge to enhance your pipeline engineering projects.
