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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

People have long used the heat deep within the earth, and Sage Geosystems is, too. But it’s also proposing to use wells stretching thousands of feet as batteries, storing water under pressure to ...

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