Radar. Meeting in the middle.
Doubling the max attainable length
Exact entry and exit points
Lower annular pressure
There is an increasing demand in the market towards longer and more complex drills. In addition, there are increasingly narrow allowances for the entry and exit point locations. To meet these demands, Brownline has developed the Radar.
How does the Radar work?
When drilling an intersect, two sides drill towards each other. As the drill heads approach each other, the Radar modules in both drill strings communicate with each other and measure their relative positions.
By relying on these accurate measurements, the connection between the two boreholes can be made smoothly and quickly.
Which drillings are possible?
The Radar is optimally designed for long drillings, maintaining precision and efficiency. Lower annular pressure in the borehole reduces the risk of blowouts and damage above and below the ground.
Using Radar, we have conducted pilot drillings with lengths exceeding 4.5 km / 15,000 ft.
The Radar itself allows for unlimited drilling length. The actual limit depends on the rig used.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Radar used for?
What radius can be used to make an intersection?
Is the Radar for sale?
What is the Radar used for?
The Radar is used to enable a precise meet-in-the-middle during horizontal directional drilling intersect operations. It allows two bore paths to meet accurately underground, which is essential for creating longer and more complex drill paths.
What radius can be used to make an intersection?
The radius that can be used to make an intersection depends on the combination of the tools used and the specific bore design. Factors such as the type of drill head, steering tool, and site conditions all influence the achievable radius. Brownline’s Radar technology enables accurate and efficient intersections, even in curved or complex trajectories.
Is the Radar for sale?
No, the Drillguide Steering Tools are not for sale. Instead of selling the tools, Brownline offers a complete service solution. Our experienced Service Team is available to support you throughout your pilot drilling project, ensuring precise guidance and successful execution using the Drillguide technology.
