 Background
Drilling technology in geothermal fields adopts from oil and gas drilling technology. Most
geothermal wells are designed following the same principles as those used in oil and gas industry.
Although geothermal reservoir and oil/gas reservoir are similar, but there are several differences
that could not be ignored. When drilling procedures in oil/gas fields are applied to geothermal fields, those
differences give bad significant impact to geothermal drilling if they are done without consider them.

 Types of Geothermal Resources

1. Liquid Dominated
2. Vapor Dominated
3. Geopressured
4. Engineered Geothermal System (EGS)

Temperature
In geothermal needs :
• Mud coolers • High temperature electronics
• Needed to keep fluid cool to • Directional tools are very
maintain mud properties. temperature sensitive
– Mud Cake
– Gel Yield • Wireline electronic
– Carrying Capacity logging tools are also very
temperature sensitive
• High Temperatures can
damage electronic drilling • Bit program design must

circulating media into
• Mud must be changed out consideration
prior to entering the
productive reservoir.

 Temperature
In geothermal needs :
• High temperature cements
• Cements will need to be
retarded to withstand
reservoir conditions.
• Unlike Oil and Gas wells,
casing in Geothermal wells
need to be cemented across
entire length.
• Uncemented voids in
casing annuli will result in
casing failures (One of the
primary important factor of
a good geothermal well is a
good cement job

• High temperature mud additives
• Gel (Bentonite)
Muds can cause
formation damage in
production sections.
• High temperature
polymers are needed
to clean the hole and
stabilize the wellbore.
• Air or Aerated Fluids
can be used due to
low pressure
formations.

 Low Reservoir Pressure
Underbalanced drilling was a common application in highly fractured and
subnormal pressured formation as found in geothermal

Advantages of using underbalanced drilling :

1. Increases ROP
2. Prevents lost circulation in low reservoir pressure
3. Prevents stuck pipe
4. Saving bit life

 Completion Method
• Many geothermal wells are completed open hole and
resource is produced
through casing.
• Slotted or Perforated casing is utilized to filter large
formation debris from
entering flow stream.
• Wellhead completion are large diameter master
valvethrough which the well was drilled
