GA Drilling, a geothermal drilling company emphasizes the advancements in geothermal drilling
GA Drilling mentioned Eavor as one of Canada’s leading Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS) in a LinkedIn article. The article dives into the methods and schematics of how AGS closed loop systems works, which is the technology that Eavor uses. The process begins by drilling vertical wells several thousand feet into the ground. The wells are then deviated horizontally into multilaterals. A working fluid is then introduced into the injection well, where the liquid can then absorb heat from the rock via conduction. This hot liquid then rises up the outlet well to the facility. The hot liquid is then passed through a heat exchanger, transferred to a secondary fluid, which is then vaporized to spin a turbine and generate electricity. Alternatively, the produced heat from the system can be used for heating applications.
