THE PROBLEM! INADVERTENT RETURNS CONTAMINATION IN OUR STREAMS 3

WETLANDS 4

STOP! AVOID THE SPILLS AND FINES $ 5

THE SOLUTION Avoid id p potentia ial f frack-ou outs i in our s streams o or wetl tlands. Allow ow f for mini nimum um d depths hs of c cover. r. Pit in t to r reduce the o e overall footprint o of the crossing. 6

Pilot Phase Ream Phase Pit i in to reduce c cross ssing Use a air t to excav avat ate lengt gth Use l low a annular ar No d drillin illing addit itives pressure s system Consider l line of s sight FlexBo Bor M r Method locating 7

HOW IT WORKS. The F FlexBor s system r requires a a pilot. I It c can b be straight o or on a radius. P Pick a a steering s system t that creates l low a w annular p pressureat the b bit 8

No slurry required. FlexBor m method u uses a air t to blow t w the c cuttin ing i into t the h head, keeping the c cutters cool a and clean. T The s seal b band l limits s spoil b l bypass. AND BAN AL B SEAL 9

Spoil Containment The m main j jet l located i in the b body o of t the h head c creates a vacuum effect. P Provides t the l least p path o of r resistance f for t the c cuttings a and contains t them i in the d drive c casin ing. JET AIR J AIN AI MAI 10

The Diverter Cuttings c can b be blown t to a cont ntainment nt p pit o or box. 11
