Global Geothermal drilling market was estimated at USD 9.0 Billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach over USD 11.4 Billion by the end of 2028, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Introduction of the Geothermal Drilling  Market Report

Geothermal drilling is the technique of creating boreholes in the earth to extract heat from the ground. It covers around 30% to 50% of the cost of a geothermal electricity project, which makes it a crucial part of the project. The same state of the art technology is used by the oil & gas industry for exploration & production activities, especially in low enthalpy sedimentary settings. For sustainable geothermal exploitation, deep-seated, large-diameter boreholes, and long-lasting well integrities are needed.

Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

Rising global demand for energy and growing focus of several economies towards clean energy production stands to be one of the major growth drivers. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), geothermal energy has grown steadily from around 10GW worldwide in 2010 to 14 GW in 2020. The U.S. Department of Energy has quantified the presence of geothermal energy and concluded that such energy resources offer great potential to meet part of the global energy demand.

Furthermore, strategic developments by key players operating in the market are further augmenting market growth. For instance, in 2021, Parex Resources Inc. is producing geothermal energy via modular units to generate approximately 100 kilowatts of electricity for powering pumps and other equipment – a lower-cost and emissions-free alternative to bringing in fuel to the remote wellsite on the Las Maracas oil field in Colombia. In 2019, Eavor Technologies Inc. announced an innovative zero-emission energy system for geothermal drilling, Eavor Loop, in Canada. The system mitigates the risk of polluting nearby water bodies as it does not require water.

Restraint in the Geothermal Drilling  Market

However, high initial costs stand to act as market barrier in the geothermal drilling market. The cost of geothermal wells and field development is about 40% of the total investment cost for new high-temperature geothermal plants. This up-front cost makes geothermal plants more expensive to build than conventional plants.

Well Type – Segment Analysis

Based on well type, slim segment is expected to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to less material requirement in well preparation, less rig hold time and less man-power requirement. Moreover, due to small hole diameter and shallow depth, the well development costs can be minimized by 30%, thereby driving the growth of the slim segment.

Depth – Segment Analysis

Based on depth, the 2001-3000m segment occupied the largest share in the market. The rising focus of drilling service contractors on reducing the operational risks along with providing reliable equipment’s to drill deep geothermal well is the major factor contributing to the growth of the geothermal drilling market in this segment. Furthermore, innovation in the geological 3D surveying method which can map the presence of geothermal fields at depth around 2000-3000 m is a major factor influencing the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
