Course Overview
The course will introduce the key technologies and engineering strategies required to plan and execute a successful geothermal project. It focuses on drilling technology, equipment and principles used in successful geothermal wells. Specific attention is given to metallurgy and well control issues for geothermal wells. Throughout the whole course, the critical areas of difference of geothermal drilling to conventional O&G well drilling will be highlighted. Overall, the course provides a holistic perspective to geothermal drilling from a point of view of geothermal developer.
“I was looking to participate in a training where we could compare oil and gas versus geothermal. Geothermal Drilling course provided exactly this; now I have a better understanding of the geothermal world and how important is the experience from the oil and gas industry for this type of projects. Kevin did a great job sharing his knowledge!”
