Feature Bringing the Heat: A Geothermal Drilling Story
Innovative technology expanded geothermal district heating capacity in two Parisian suburbs.
Geothermal well construction
Improve geothermal drilling with solutions that perform in hard rock and high temperatures
Overview
Improve geothermal project economics by optimizing drilling
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.
