Geothermal drilling

State of art

• HIGH AVERAGE DEPTH OF WELLS (FROM 3500m TO 4500m)

• DIRECTIONAL DRILLING ON SPECIFIC TARGETS

• DEVELOPMENT OF CEMENTING TECHNOLOGIES FOR DEEP AND HIGH TEMPERATURE WELLS

• DEVELOPMENT OF BEST PRACTICE AND GEOTHERMAL ORIENTED TOOLS

• SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
