This development supports stable performance in geothermal projects targeting shallow subsurface investigations, deep mining operations, and the evaluation of thermal energy storage systems. ...
Successful enhanced geothermal system (EGS) projects require specialized materials that can withstand the high temperatures and harsh conditions of superhot rock (SHR) environments. ...
Wellfield drilling can account for 60 percent of the cost of a geothermal project. Perfect well analysis helps identify maximum output from a given well and compares it with real world results to help identify the most promising drilling opportunities. ...
The Cascade mountain range in the Northwest U.S. holds significant, undeveloped geothermal energy potential. AltaRock Energy is working with Washington State geologists to explore the region’s hydrothermal resources using Play Fairway Analysis, a modified petroleum industry exploration methodology. This project uses geomechnical modeling along with ...
Newberry Volcano, located near Bend, Oregon, sits atop one of the largest geothermal heat reservoirs in the western United States. After extensive research, AltaRock Energy and its partners have concluded that Newberry could support a commercially viable enhanced geothermal system (EGS) power plant. Using superhot rock (SHR) extraction technology developed by ...
Situation Most people know HVC as a waste-to-energy plant or waste company. However, the fact that HVC is also active in generating renewable energy from green gas, solar parks and geothermal energy is much less known. In the Westland region, the soil is extremely suitable for utilising geothermal energy, or geothermal heat. HVC is now working on its third geothermal plant in this region, ...
Retrac thread button bit are widely used in hole drilling in water well drilling, mineral exploration, earthwork project, RC drill rig, geothermal exploration, blast holes drilling and construction. ...
We were early to see how technology could be used to pivot into geothermal projects and solve the historical issues that the industry faced, once and for all. As a background, the drilling methods traditionally used for geothermal projects have been the same drilling used for oil and gas projects. ...
We feel that there’s a huge opportunity for companies like ours who can demonstrate technological innovation when it comes to geothermal projects. It’s clear that the existing drilling mentality that was applied to oil and gas projects isn’t capable of pivoting to hard-rock geothermal. ...
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 ...
And that’s exactly what we want to address. What is geothermal energy, and where is it found? Geothermal energy is heat generated from the earth’s core. ...
I was interviewed recently by Patrick Hanson of Geo Energy Marketing, an organisation in the US that seeks to tell the stories of innovative businesses within the geothermal space. Read the interview below for a closer insight into why Strada chose to focus on geothermal technology, the mission that drives our company and why we believe ...
But as with any new technology we anticipate to come across bugs, and have chosen select projects to apply our learnings. New and innovative drilling technology needs to be proven to give contractors and governments the confidence to use it in their global projects. ...
After all, geothermal energy has practically unlimited potential and could theoretically power our entire planet. ...
Cost Geothermal projects are often characterised by high upfront costs and long development timelines that lead to protracted investment payback periods compared to many other utility-scale power generation projects. ...
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. ...

This project aims to bring cutting-edge green energy technology to the forefront of the geothermal industry. ...
It’s a multidisciplinary project with three components: Geophysics: The USGS will conduct LiDAR, magnetic, gravity, and magnetotelluric surveys which will help identify the location and size of the geothermal reservoir. ...
The Newberry EGS Demonstration project is the site of cutting-edge research into enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) development. ...
