Environmental Challenges
- Several key technology gaps still stand in the way of deep drilling in hostile subsurface geological environments. Technology companies and laboratories must make rapid advances in specialized drilling rigs, bit technology, high-temperature downhole tools, and temperature management equipment. Currently, these drilling systems—and the amount of time required to access deep, hard rock formations—create significant project costs.
- Lack of access to SHR conditions, both in-field and in controlled laboratory conditions.
Mitigation Strategies
- Technology companies and laboratories must rapidly develop, test, and deploy new technologies.
- Open-access experimental facilities and pilot sites are needed for iterative improvements.
