Research of New Drilling Technologies
Research includes technologies based on the utilization of water jet, chemical plasma, hydrothermal spallation or laser.
Utilization of high energetic electrical plasma shows promise in deep drilling applications. This approach has potential to replace conventional drilling technologies. It would be able to produce boreholes with large constant diameter without frequent replacement of the drill bits.
