Feature Bringing the Heat: A Geothermal Drilling Story
Innovative technology expanded geothermal district heating capacity in two Parisian suburbs.
Improve geothermal drilling with solutions that perform in hard rock and high temperatures
Well delivery comprises everything from the people to the processes, equipment, and materials across the full well construction operation—your operation. In geothermal applications, drilling makes up 25% to 50% of total project costs, so you need to reduce those costs for better economics. Combining our geothermal experience and well construction expertise, we can help you elevate operational success.
Geothermal Webinar Series
Hear directly from our experts about solutions that optimize geothermal well construction.
Explore all webinarsJanine Maalouf, well placement domain champion in Europe, will discuss how placing a horizontal doublet in thin permeable layers using logging-while-drilling deep electromagnetic multibed boundary mapping and borehole imaging technologies can help maximize reservoir exposure.

Optimize your geothermal projects: Our panel featuring Nicholas Goura and Seth Champness will discuss the critical considerations necessary to drill a directional well with full fluid returns into a formation with a static temperature of 500 degC.
Now available on-demand
Using a real-world case study, SLB Fellow Ross Lowdon, head of surveying at SLB, and Mark Hodder, vice president for well engineering and operations at Eavor, discuss how AGS wells operate as closed-loop systems that require precise directional drilling and specialized technology to join the wells at depth.
