DeepPower - Breakthrough Geothermal Drilling Technology
We are developing a suite of breakthrough drilling technologies, based on existing oil & gas drilling techniques, to boldly go where no oil rig has gone before. Unlike new and unproven geothermal drilling technologies such as plasma or lasers, our drilling technologies will be based on the tried and true mechanical rotary drill. However, our drill, wellbore and casing technology will be designed from the ground up and optimized for the physics of superhot rock geothermal.
DeepPower - Enhanced Geothermal Systems
The direct application of the DeepPower Platform is considered to be an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS). EGS is a next generation geothermal technique and does not require natural hot water reservoirs for the development of geothermal power plants. In EGS, the developer basically creates its own reservoir by drilling down into solid hot rock, injecting water at a high pressure through one well, fracturing the rock to let the water pass through, then collecting the heated water through another well. Theoretically, this approach can create geothermal power plants anywhere in the world by drilling 5 to 6 miles deep.
