Webinar – Percussion-enhanced geothermal drilling, 12 January 2024 Focus on Geothermal webinar with Jamie Airnes of HydroVolve
Carlo Cariaga 8 Jan 2024

Join us on the 12th of January for a webinar on percussive-enhanced drilling technology developed by HydroVolve that can "supercharge" geothermal drilling.

As part of the regular Focus on Geothermal Webinar series – a partnership of Enerchange and ThinkGeoEnergy – we are proud to host Jamie Airnes, CEO of HydroVolve, for a webinar on “Percussion-Enhanced Drilling Technology Supercharges Drilling Performance.”

HydroVolve has developed the GeoVolve HYPERDRIVE System,  a percussion-enhanced rotary drilling system which can be deployed into a conventional rotary drilling bottom hole assembly (BHA). It radically enhances the rate of penetration (ROP) and extends bit life whilst drilling in hard, ductile or interbedded rock in geothermal and conventional wells.

Date: 12 January 2024

Time: 14:00 CET / 07:00 CST
