Well Temperature Control solution for Geothermal Drilling - Energy - Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy began in the United States in the early 1800’s. By the late 1920`s electrical power was produced by John D. Grant at the Geysers. Fifty years later, during the oil crisis of 1979, Kern Steel Fabrication invented the Geo-Cooler to support the geothermal industry’s efforts to perform closed-loop drilling, which reduced the environmental impact of drilling. Well temperature control was needed to dissipate heat from the drilling fluid, otherwise it would accumulate heat and turn to steam.
