Planning and Supervision of Drilling Operations Services
To exploit any reservoir, a detailed knowledge of the reservoir is essential. Whether a reservoir is productive can only be verified through drilling a well. Since every project is unique, the preliminary work needs to be adapted to the type of resource (high or low enthalpy region). The type of equipment used depends mainly on the reservoir depth, reservoir rock and the temperature development along the drill path.In Germany, drilling operations for the exploitation of deep geothermal systems need to be described precisely in the overall operation plan. The overall operation plan has to be approved by the mining authority which also ensures that the imposed conditions are being fulfilled. The drilling site has to comply with the latest environmental and work safety requirements.
Before drilling operations can start the well is being planned in detail covering the drilling path, the casing scheme and the required drilling, drive, and measuring systems. During the drilling operations the penetration rate is continuously monitored and the actually encountered geology is being compared to the predicted geology in order to react appropriately to the actual conditions.
