Abstract: With the rapid growth of the oil and gas storage, transportation, and pipeline industries, it is necessary to improve the construction process of oil and gas pipelines. By combining the technical advantages of horizontal directional drilling and pipe jacking construction, the direct pipe laying method is suitable for pipeline crossing in different strata in the oil and gas, water conservancy and hydropower, and municipal industries due to its advantages of less construction land, high speed, and reversibility. Using the rapid jacking and laying of pipelines crossing Nanjuma River in the ‘Jingshihan’ gas pipeline double line project as a case study, this paper investigates the application status of the direct pipe laying method, summarizes the project, and introduces the construction of the working well, equipment selection, guiding control technology, supporting equipment installation, and drag reduction measures, as well as analyzes the influencing factors of thrust force and trajectory deviation combined with formation information.
