This superheated water could potentially enable geothermal systems to extract 10 times more energy from deep, hot rock formations. However, GA Drilling is starting at more moderate depths.

At an extreme water depth of 7 kilometers, the team used the Japanese drilling vessel Chikyu to drill a series of deep boreholes, including a sub-seafloor borehole observatory that intersects the ...

Reaching the geothermal energy far beneath our feet will require digging further into the Earth's crust than ever before.

A once-overlooked technology that taps into the Earth's heat to generate electricity could supply up to 20% of the ...

The 34-lb. Model DBE 160 single-speed, 700-rpm core drill rig has an 18-amp motor, enabling it to drill holes up to 6-in. diameter in concrete, reinforced concrete, brick, block and stone.

CS Unitec's Threaded Diamond Core Drills and Barrels are designed for deep hole drilling in concrete with any portable diamond core drilling rig. They consist of a threaded diamond crown, threaded ...

Earth’s solid inner core appears to have changed shape in the past 20 years or so, according to seismic wave measurements – but the behaviour of these waves could also be explained by other ...

Developing sustainable resources beneath the surface To manage the Earth’s resources responsibly, scientists must understand how they form and evolve deep underground. Scientific drilling offers ...

The project is a positive sign for the future of geothermal energy.

If life debuted in this type of environment, signals to its origins could be locked inside the molecules deep underground, which are unaltered by surficial processes like photosynthesis, Lang said.

Georgia Power is exploring options for storing some of the carbon its plants produce deep underground in parts of rural Georgia.
