Geothermal drilling

Geothermal drilling involvesboring deep into the Earth's crust to access heat stored beneath the surface. Specialized drill rigs create wellbores that reach geothermal reservoirs, where hot water and steam are found. These resources can then be used to generate electricity or provide direct heating. The process requires careful planning to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety, often involving drilling through various rock layers. Once the geothermal fluid is tapped, it’s brought to the surface through pipes, enabling efficient energy production. This method harnesses natural Earth's heat as a sustainable and reliable energy source.
