The greenest reason to drill: clean geothermal power that's always on
Zero: The Climate Race
Embrace the Challenge of the Unsuccessful
Selecting a site with a history of unsuccessful geothermal drilling can serve as a powerful demonstration of new technology's capabilities. By targeting a location that had previously yielded dry holes, the strategy focused on proving the effectiveness of innovative drilling techniques. A pilot project was initiated, involving the drilling of a vertical monitoring well followed by the first pair of horizontal wells in the geothermal industry. This approach not only provided valuable data through advanced instrumentation but also aimed to unlock geothermal production potential in an area deemed sub-commercial by conventional standards.
