Re-use of the UK's coal mine water resource is increasing in scale.

Read our paper to understand how we can demonstrate early insights into measuring & monitoring heat-flow processes to provide an evidence base for UK geothermal research.

The early pioneers of rock mechanics used techniques developed in mechanical engineering to try to understand the behaviour of rock in engineered structures.

One of our most popular blogs is on the challenges of drilling through fractured & faulted formations and how it may be inevitable to achieve well objectives.

Find out how we have helped clients overcome these challenges for successful production: https://t.co/t1EHFt9c68

Our Technical Specialist Rick Hicks attended the UK Mining Conference in Cornwall last week at the Princess Pavilions in Falmouth.

It was a chance to catch up with the industry's news, innovations, opportunities and using geothermal energy for sustainable development.

Our Geothermal Specialist Peter Ledingham is attending the #minewatersymposium24 in Edinburgh this week.

@ourdynamicearth sets the scene perfectly, as we look at exploring and harnessing the natural resources in the sub-surface & repurposing existing infrastructure.

The Chinese superdeep borehole is now over 6 miles down!

Since the start of drilling on May 30, 2023, the borehole has penetrated 13 continental strata, with more than 1000 drill pipes driven into the Earth & over 20 drill bits consumed in the process.

Brilliant work from @Microsoft who have gone all in on their ambitious zero-carbon goals to reduce their carbon footprint at their campus in Washington. Using a ground source heating & cooling system with a total of 875 boreholes and 220 miles of piping!

We worked with @Cenergist & @BritGeoSurvey on the design of the two closed-loop GSHP borehole arrays for these installations at Keyworth. The arrays have been designed to deliver long-term sustainable ambient energy from the ground, whilst minimising parasitic pumping energy.

[GeoScience Limited @GeoScienceLtd]

Congratulations to @BritGeoSurvey for breaking ground on their GSHP project at the headquarters in Keyworth.

The system will deliver low-carbon heat to the buildings and also serve as a 'living laboratory'.

We are pleased to support the decarbonisation of @nationaltrust's 17th-century property, Kingston Lacy, using a high-temperature GSHP system.
We completed the feasibility, the design & tender specification for 32 vertical boreholes and 6,000 m of pipework.
