Geothermal Drilling

Geothermal energy is a reliable and environmentally benign energy source. Geothermal wells harness energy from subsurface reservoirs of hot water or steam, which can be economically exploited for electricity generation or direct heating. With the increasing demand for clean energy worldwide, geothermal energy offers a promising option due to its minimal environmental impact and reliable supply.
