Model Plasmabit -Geothermal Drilling Solution
How PLASMABIT® drilling platform disrupts the geothermal sector? Current geothermal drilling challenges are prohibitive drilling costs, inefficiency of drilling operation at greater depths and geothermal energy availability at 3% of Earth´s surface only. Intelligent drilling platform PLASMABIT® overcomes these limits with unprecedented reliability. With our unique technology any location on Earth can provide clean, inexpensive and nonstop available geothermal energy. Accessing 10 km depths allows greater energy production per well than previously calculated. Geothermal Anywhere is what the “GA” in GA Drilling stands for.

PLASMABIT® comes together as a synergy of:
- patented drilling platform for ultra-deep depths operations
- expertise of the conventional drilling from the oil & gas industry
- best practices from successful geothermal projects worldwide.
PLASMABIT® is the intelligent modular platform and can be connected to market standard equipment.
PLASMABIT® drilling platform has clear step-change cost, performance, working life and environmental impact advantages compared to a conventional mechanical bit in deeper depths:
- The rapid rate of penetration in hard rock environment ensures linear drilling costs instead of exponential → costs of drilling per meter are lower by an order of magnitude.
- Doesn’t require contact or rotation with the formation, it is inherently less prone to any mechanical wear thus reduces the need for regular replacement of the tool → the costly downtime is considerably reduced.
- Decreased noise generation and resonance, below 40dB beyond 1,000ft (300m) depth → it’s important forapplicability in populated areas.
By combining PLASMABIT® solution with conventional off the shelf modular system, in conjunction with engineering, procurement, and construction partners, PLASMABIT® will deliver the ultra-deep geothermal energy at low cost anywhere.
