water hammer drilling

A drilling technology that uses water to deliver powerful vibrations to pulverize rock, differing from traditional rotary drilling.

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)

EGS are artificial reservoirs created underground in areas with hot rock, where fluid pathways are enhanced through safe drilling processes to increase connectivity. These pathways allow fluid to flow through the hot rock, bringing heat to the surface for electricity generation.

rotary drilling

A conventional drilling method that uses a rotary bit to break down rock.
