ReedHycalog’s drill bits have drilled some of the longest and fastest intervals in geothermal wells around the world. From a 67% higher ROP with a single bit run in New Zealand to completing a well with Utah FORGE 60 days ahead of schedule, we’re positioned to equip you with the most advanced drilling technologies for your geothermal applications.

Tuboscope’s proven line of TK™ Corrosion control products have been used in a variety of geothermal projects throughout the Netherlands, Germany and France since 2003. In addition to unmatched corrosion protection, Tube-Kote™ coatings prevent deposit mitigation and improve laminar flow efficiency.

We know handling geothermal brine is not easy and only the toughest equipment can handle the job. Our corrosion-resistant piping systems and tanks have been used in a variety of applications such as acid and chemical handling, bioreactor systems, fire water, cooling water, and scrubber systems. Composite solutions reduce maintenance and eliminate the need for exotic alloys, providing the long-term performance needed in geothermal power plants.

The complexity of a geothermal well demands that drilling solutions be advanced, proven, simple, and clean. NOV provides completely integrated drilling technologies for a wide range of geothermal applications that have a minimal footprint during installation and operation.
