OptiDrill Advisory System aims to provide a solution for the drilling optimisation
With the recent energy crisis in Europe and worldwide, there is no doubt that we need several alternatives and sustainable energy sources. Geothermal energy has been identified with one of the greatest potentials as the world is transitioning toward renewable and sustainable net zero energy. However, this geothermal energy comes with a high price, and …

The earth has enough geothermal energy to supply twice over the world’s total electrical needs.
According to the MIT Technology Review, the earth has enough geothermal energy to supply twice over the world’s total electrical needs. Unfortunately, the geothermal power is used to generate only about 0.3% of the worldwide electricity generation. Until now, almost all geothermal energy has gone unused. It’s the high time we think about utilizing the …
OptiDrill in Horizon Results Booster (HRB) initiative of the European Commission.
A multi-disciplined approach to solving some of the issues of deep geothermal energy usage. This short video clip shows how research and innovation teams, supported by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, are co-operating through knowledge sharing to make geothermal the low carbon baseload energy choice.Longer material lifecycles, reduced drilling costs and increased understanding of geothermal …

How Geothermal energy can be used to produce electricity?
Geothermal energy can be used to produce electricity by pumping cold water at high pressure into an injection well and extracting hot water, then passing through a heat exchanger. The rest is history. A must-read article by BBC Science Focus Magazine where electricity production using geothermal energy is explained relatively simple terms. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/how-does-geothermal-energy-work-to-produce-electricity/
Interview with Kevin Mallin: OptiDrill
Kevin J Mallin Technical Manager, OptiDrill What are the potential outputs of the OptiDrill project? Deep drilling is very similar in many ways as embarking on a long journey without a very good map or very limited information on the problems you may face on your journey. Most of us now have Satellite Navigation systems …
