An improved method of forming a trenchless flow line is provided. The
method includes support of the boring tool at each sight relief hole
using a hook extending downwardly into the hole so as to overcome the
force of gravity on the tool during the pilot hole drilling step. Then, a
back reaming tool is connected to the end of the boring tool, and the
pipe is connected to the reaming tool, such that the reaming tool reams
the pilot hole to a larger diameter ahead of the pipe, which is pulled
through the hole with the reaming tool. Drilling fluid is supplied during
the reaming process to form a slurry which is pushed ahead of the pipe
and upwardly into the sight relief holes, as the pipe is pulled through
the reamed hole.
