State-of-the-Art Geothermal Well Drilling Case Studies provides updated information on technological advances and research on the state-of-the-art performance of recent geothermal wells drilled for energy in the global push to reduce greenhouse gases. The book provides advances in a rapidly growing market that has adopted and adapted oilfield technologies to rapid scale development and production as demonstrated through global examples in a case-study format. Different geologic formations and well trajectories require different drilling tools and drilling parameters to yield optimum results.
Showcasing current examples of successful global geothermal well-drilling applications, this text provides readers, researchers, and industry professionals with the keys needed to rapidly scale geothermal drilling operations, a clean and abundant source of energy that supports sustainability and reduction of carbon emissions.

Presents case studies highlighting global geothermal drilling applications
Highlights best-in-class performances
Contains no hypothetical examples: Real-world examples are provided by energy professionals responsible for real-world results

Dan Scott retired from Baker Hughes after 47 years in the research, development and implementation of drilling technology. He has a BS in Metallurgical Engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. During his career he served in several technical and management rolls and managed several joint projects with customers and leading carbide and diamond vendors. He traveled worldwide to observe and conduct testing of new drilling tools and innovative carbide insets and PDC technology. He has over 150 patents and has authored 60 publications, and received numerous recognition and awards: Fellow in ASM, Silver Paten Award from ASME, Distinguished Member of SPE, Drilling Engineer of the year from SPE, Innovative Thinker from World Oil, Inventor of the year from the Year from the Texas Bar Association Intellectual Property Division, Lifetimes Technical Achievement Award from the Chairman of Baker Hughes, IADC service Award, ad was recognized by his Alma Mater for Outstanding Professional Career. He served on over 50 technical program committee including 27 IADC SPE Drilling Conferences. Sam Abraham has 30 years’ experience in the drilling industry, mainly in exploration and production wells in Indonesia followed by 20 years in the geothermal industry in numerous countries. Sam has worked as Senior Project Manager with various private companies in directing geothermal field operations including drilling, especially on remote drilling and start up projects, mainly with deep high temperature geothermal wells in New Zealand, USA, and Kenya, including big bore and standard size completion. Sam has deep knowledge of well design, preparing drilling programs and well cost estimates, HSE policy implementation, contract management, permitting and logistics, drilling project management and audits. Sam is technical advisor of the LBNL-SNL research projects for the Department of Energy and the International Geothermal Association. He served as a Geothermal Technical Consultant for the World Bank and has published over 20 technical papers including case studies.
