Drilling challenge

We require 5-10 km holes for 24/7 sustainable energy everywhere on the

  • planet. Mechanical drilling is the dominant in oil industry but it has several

drawbacks;

1

Short life time of the bit: time consuming for replacement.

2

In case of bit breaking: a new hole have to be initiated.

3

Based on compressive strength (break from outside to inside) needs higher energy.

4

Stiffer plate required for harder rocks means higher energy consumption.

5

The hole diameter decreases with depth because of casing.

6

Mechanical drilling is more difficult (slow+expensive) in basement rock (e.g. granite).

7

Oil reservoirs aren’t normally this deep but deep geothermal wells requires drilling in basement rocks. Conclusion: Mechanical drilling can’t be used for 5-10 km economically.
