The manner in which the drilling bit is run is more important than which bit is run. OptiDrill coupled drilling optimisation ML models in the drilling advisory system will enable drillers to reach cost-effectively greater depths and higher temperatures on all types of geological formations for geothermal well drilling.
The OptiDrill project’s technical partners met for the technology transfer and synergy realisation of the two projects GeoDrill and OptiDrill, at IEG Bochum, Fraunhofer, Germany, on 28-29 March 2023. The GeoDrill project aims to develop cost-efficient “holistic” drilling technologies. In contrast, the OptiDrill project aims to develop a drilling advisory system for the optimisation of …

OptiDrill’s explainer video on OptiDrill Concept: Optimisation of Geothermal Drilling Operation with Machine Learning has been published on our YouTube channel. Watch it here
The OptiDrill project has organised it’s first open webinar, which will focus on OptiDrill’s drilling advisory system. OptiDrill project is developing a real-time drilling advisory system for optimising the geothermal drilling operation utilising novel sensors and Machine Learning (ML) methods. The webinar aims to discuss the OptiDrill concept and its newest developments. The Webinar took …
With the recent energy crisis in Europe and worldwide, there is no doubt that we need several alternatives and sustainable energy sources. Geothermal energy has been identified with one of the greatest potentials as the world is transitioning toward renewable and sustainable net zero energy. However, this geothermal energy comes with a high price, and …

According to the MIT Technology Review, the earth has enough geothermal energy to supply twice over the world’s total electrical needs. Unfortunately, the geothermal power is used to generate only about 0.3% of the worldwide electricity generation. Until now, almost all geothermal energy has gone unused. It’s the high time we think about utilizing the …
A multi-disciplined approach to solving some of the issues of deep geothermal energy usage. This short video clip shows how research and innovation teams, supported by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, are co-operating through knowledge sharing to make geothermal the low carbon baseload energy choice.Longer material lifecycles, reduced drilling costs and increased understanding of geothermal …
