Geothermal Drilling

Mannvit’s drilling services team consists of highly experienced professionals in drilling programs, well design, downhole pumps, fluid handling, drill pads, geology and reservoir engineering. The team provides both drilling consulting as well as on-site supervision. We emphasize health, safety and the environment in all our operations.

Mannvit’s drilling team has been involved in geothermal drilling for decades, resulting in comprehensive experience and lessons learned in harsh drilling environments with extreme temperatures, corrosive fluids, scaling and extreme loss of circulation. Owing to the long history of geothermal utilization in Iceland and project experience from around the world, Mannvit has amassed significant expertise in drilling engineering in this unique field, which is not directly transferable from other industries.
