One of the terms used in directional drilling is “sidetracking.” This is the practice of veering off in a given direction from an existing bore, but above the bottom of the well. Sidetracks can be “blind,” or sent off in a random direction, or “oriented,” headed in a specific direction.
When it comes to geothermal wells, the energy can either be used directly (as when the well connects to sources of water and steam heated by the Earth) or indirectly (as with systems that pump water through hot regions under the Earth’s crust).
We recognize that saving time on construction projects can be very much the same thing as saving money. Bringing in a drilling contractor can allow your crew to focus on other areas of the project that he or she is better suited for.
BP Exploration established a world record for horizontal directional drilling in 1993. Located in the Wytch Farm oil field in the North Sea, the onshore bore has a horizontal reach of 6.28 miles, accesses an offshore reservoir, and produces 20,000 barrels a day.
Geothermal systems are popular because they're a green option that can save money over time. Care to guess how much of your total energy bill is spent heating and cooling your home? If you guessed over 48 percent, you're right.
