Abstract

An apparatus and method for a modified horizontal directional drilling assembly for drilling pipe into a drilling surface. The drilling assembly comprises a power unit for supplying power to the assembly, a thrust frame adapted to be moved between a position substantially parallel to the drilling surface and a position substantially perpendicular to the drilling surface and a means for moving the thrust frame. The rotary and carriage assembly is adapted to apply rotational, thrust and pull-back forces to the drill pipe.
The drilling assembly is adapted to drill pipe into the drilling surface at any angle relative to the drilling surface between substantially parallel to the drilling surface and substantially perpendicular to the drilling surface.
The method includes the steps of placing a drill pipe onto the drilling assembly, moving the thrust frame to a desired drilling angle, moving the rotary and carriage assembly into direct contact with the drill pipe, applying rotational, thrust and pull-back forces to the drill pipe, and drilling the pipe into the drilling surface.

Claims (23)

1. A modified horizontal directional drilling assembly for drilling pipe into a drilling surface, said drilling assembly comprising:

a power unit for supplying power to the drilling assembly;

a thrust frame adapted to be moved between a position substantially parallel to the drilling surface and a position substantially perpendicular to the drilling surface;
a means for moving the thrust frame;

a rotary and carriage assembly mounted on the thrust frame, said rotary and carriage assembly being adapted to apply rotational, thrust and pull-back forces to the drill pipe;

wherein the drilling assembly is adapted to drill pipe into the drilling surface at any angle relative to the drilling surface between substantially parallel to the drilling surface and substantially perpendicular to the drilling surface.
2. The drilling assembly of claim 1 wherein the power unit comprises at least two independent power units attached to the assembly.
3. The drilling assembly of claim 2 wherein the drilling assembly is adapted to operate at full capacity at half speed using one of said at least two independent power units in the event that one or more of the other of said at least two independent power units is not in operation.
4. The drilling assembly of claim 1 wherein the thrust frame is pivotally connected to the assembly.
5. The drilling assembly of claim 4 wherein the thrust frame is pivotally connected to the assembly by a dual hinge having at least two pivot points.
6. The drilling assembly of claim 1 wherein thrust frame is adapted to be moved through at least approximately 90 relative to the drilling surface.
7. The drilling assembly of claim 1 wherein the means for moving the thrust frame is a frame hydraulic cylinder.
8. The drilling assembly of claim 1 wherein the rotary and carriage assembly is a positive rack and pinion carriage system comprising:

a carriage drive planetary gearbox;
a carriage drive motor;

a rotary gearbox planetary gearbox;

a rotary gearbox hydraulic motor; and a telescoping slip spindle sub assembly.
9. The drilling assembly of claim 8 wherein the telescoping slip spindle sub assembly comprises:

10. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a break out wrench assembly.
11. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a drill pipe guide bushing assembly.
12. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a sub-structure.
13. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a leveling jack mounted to the sub-structure.
14. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a casing slip assembly.
15. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a drill pipe and casing handler and a means for moving the drill pipe and casing handler.
16. The drilling assembly of claim 15 wherein the drill pipe and casing handler is removably connected to the sub-structure by a pin connection.
17. The drilling assembly of claim 16 wherein the means for moving the drill pipe and casing handler is a hydraulic actuator.
18. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising an anchoring system.
19. The drilling assembly of claim 18 wherein the anchoring system comprises a tipping plate anchor, an anchor rod and an anchor hydraulic cylinder.
20. The drilling assembly of claim 1 further comprising a wide strut system.
21. A method for drilling pipe into a drilling surface; said method comprising:
providing a modified horizontal directional drilling assembly, said drilling assembly comprising:

a power unit for supplying power to the drilling assembly;

a thrust frame adapted to be moved between a position substantially parallel to the drilling surface and a position substantially perpendicular to the drilling surface;

a means for moving the thrust frame;

a rotary and carriage assembly mounted on the thrust frame, said rotary and carriage assembly being adapted to apply rotational, thrust and pull-back forces to the drill pipe;

wherein the drilling assembly is adapted to drill pipe into the drilling surface at any angle relative to the drilling surface between substantially parallel to the drilling surface and substantially perpendicular to the drilling surface;

placing a drill pipe onto the drilling assembly;
moving the thrust frame to a desired drilling angle;

moving the rotary and carriage assembly into direct contact with the drill pipe;
applying rotational, thrust and pull-back forces to the drill pipe; and drilling the pipe into the drilling surface.
22. The method of claim 21 further comprising the step of anchoring the assembly.
23. The method of claim 21 further comprising the step of leveling the assembly.
