geothermal drilling techniques

Geothermal drilling techniques involve creating wells to access heat from the Earth’s interior, often for energy production or heating. The process starts by using specialized drill bits to penetrate deep into the ground, reaching hot rocks or steam reservoirs. Drilling can be done vertically, or horizontally, depending on the resources. Once a well is established, water or a heat-transfer fluid is injected to collect the heat, which can then be converted into electricity or used directly for heating. Safety and environmental considerations are prioritized throughout the process to minimize ecological impact.
