EU funded research seeks to speed up drilling for deep geothermal
Deep geothermal reservoirs are being targeted for renewable energy supply worldwide. However, while international research efforts are stepping up to the challenge of overcoming the low efficiency of heat recovery from depth to the surface, the showstopper remains the slow drilling speed provided by the conventional rotary system in deep hard rocks (> 4 km). Deep drilling requires long drilling times, often resulting in unacceptably high initial investment.
