Canadian oil producer Bankers Petroleum has won an Albanian government concession to extract oil near the city of Fier for a period of 20 years. The extracted oil used to be shipped with trucks from the production field, through Fier and on to the transhipment location in Vlore, from where oil tankers shipped it across the globe. A.Hak International, cooperating with A.Hak Drillcon, constructed a new oil pipeline from Fier to Vlore. Originally the trajectory included 5 horizontal directional drillings, but once the first drilling was completed, the customer was so enthusiastic about this method that this amount was expanded to 18 HDD’s in total, in which a river, a highway and a railroad were crossed.
