The ORCHYD project develops a new drilling technology that combines high-pressure water jetting and percussive drilling to enhance drilling speeds in hard rock geothermal reservoirs. This innovation aims to significantly reduce drilling costs and improve the efficiency of deep geothermal energy extraction.
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.ORCHYD’s new drilling technology will i…
