ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are described for detection and removal of underground organic and inorganic compounds utilizing underground boring tool technology. Typically a drilling fluid is flowed through a pipe or drill string, over the boring tool, and back up the bore hole to the surface in order to remove cuttings and dirt at the surface. Solids and liquids discharged at the surface are analyzed real-time to determine concentrations and locations of compounds in the subsurface and determine the geology of the formation. Detectors can also be attached directly to the head of the boring apparatus and data transmitted to the surface electronically or by other means. Data is processed and evaluated. Based on this information, the boring tool is continually re-directed along an underground path to the areas with the highest concentrations of minerals, oil, gas, toxic compounds or other elements or compounds of interest. Once located, various technologies are employed to remove and transport compounds to the surface for treatment or sale.
