geothermal well design

Geothermal well design involves creating a specialized hole in the Earth's crust to access hot water or steam beneath the surface. Engineers carefully plan the well's depth, casing, and materials to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and corrosion. The goal is to safely extract thermal energy to generate electricity or provide direct heating, while preventing environmental issues like fluid escape or ground instability. Proper design ensures the well is efficient, durable, and safe, enabling sustainable use of Earth's natural heat resources.
