Customer / Type of customer Reischtett geothermal drilling site - FRANCE (67) Issue / Need FONROCHE Géothermie drills deep geothermal boreholes that produce a large volume of drilling mud (free from cuttings). ...
All we have to do is tap into it. How do we access geothermal energy? The challenge that the geothermal energy industry has faced up until now is – how do we get down deep enough to access geothermal resources? Traditionally, drilling for geothermal has been slow, risky and costly, which has meant that ...
At Strada, our mission of unlocking the potential of geothermal energy through our technology is something that drives us every day. ...
Morgan published their 10th Annual Energy Paper in June 2020, it was interesting to read that they had defined ‘ultra deep’ geothermal energy as hydrothermal reservoirs measured at 400-500 degrees Celsius. ...
Tackling that problem is the biggest factor and that’s what we’re aiming for – ultra-deep geothermal drilling. We’ve identified that at some point you’re going to hit hard rock, regardless of your terrain. And you need to get through that hard rock if you want to access the deep geothermal heat ...
We’ve identified the issues raised by ultra deep geothermal drilling, and set out to solve them through game changing technology. ...
The last six months have been pivotal for the development of our drilling technology, and our objective, which is to demonstrate through our innovation that the potential of geothermal energy can now be accessed swiftly and cost-effectively across the planet. ...
We need a stable, constant energy source that doesn’t harm our planet. Geothermal energy generation is clean, renewable and cost-effective over the long term, and the world has vast, untapped geothermal resources. ...
In May 2018, a drilling contractor started the installation of 570 (6” diameter x 500ft deep) geothermal boreholes in Edmonton, AB, Canada. The project at the former Edmonton Municipal Airport started with 2-rigs drilling in a formation of clay, silt, and coal seams. ...

The volcano was identified as a potential site for geothermal energy development several decades ago, and geothermal exploration began in the 1970s. ...
This paper presents the works conducted to identify the CO2 hydrates stability zone, i.e., the areas where CO2 hydrates may form and remain stable, in the deep offshore of Portugal. The methodology involved building maps of geothermal gradient, seabed temperature, detailed bathymetry and conversion to hydrostatic pressure, and maps of sediment thickness. ...
The Hot-Dry-Rock-(HDR) technology allows a location-independent utilisation of geothermal heat, because aquifers in deep formations, i.e. layers filled with water, are not necessary. ...
