Particle Impact Drilling

(Houston,
Particle
Impact Texas)
Drilling System - (PID)

The system relies on readily available hydraulic energy combined with round
The system claims to significantly
hardened steel particles entrained in the drilling fluid to rapidly excavate the
improve ROP 100% - 200%
rock formation being drilled. The process does not rely on weight-on-bit and
torque to mechanically break the rock. Steel particles are introduced into the
drilling fluid at a point downstream from the rig pumps, not to interfere with the
normal operation of the rig pumps. These particles then flow down the drill stem
and are accelerated through the nozzles of a specially designed fixed-cutter bit,
striking the formation at high velocities. The particles and cuttings are
circulated to the surface by the drilling fluid where a shot-extraction device
captures the particles for re-injection.

Limited field testing

conducted to prove viability
to date (last published test
March 2008). No discernable
temperature limitations.

Potter Drilling (Redwood

Spallation
City,Drilling
California)
Technique - (Potter
Drilling)

Drills boreholes using a process called spallation. The process starts by applying
a high-intensity fluid stream to a rock surface to expand the crystalline grains
within the rock. Above a temperature of 374.12C and a pressure of 221.2 bars,
water vapor and liquid water can no longer be distinguished from each other in
terms of their density. In this supercritical state, water is less polar, has no
phase boundaries any more and is a good solvent for non-polar gases like oxygen.
Under these conditions fuel and oxygen can be mixed without any bubble formation.
When the grains expand, micro-fractures occur in the rock and small particles
called spalls are ejected. The process is accelerated by several factors including
inherent stress in the rock formation. Potter Drillings technology differs from
prior air based techniques in that it uses hot fluid rather than air to spall
rock. Because spallation occurs in a water filled borehole, Potter Drillings
technology can be used to drill to depths required for universal EGS (12,000 to
30,000 feet).

Technology that is being developed

specifically for EGS. Gives
improvement in ROP (improvement
rates TBA) and longevity of bit
life (ie sonde does not interact
with foramtion = no wear). GDY
modelling has also indicated
spallation could be used to reduce
near wellbore inpedance in the
granite (ie cutting slots or
sidetracks into granite) and
improve flow rates 80 - 120%.

Yet to be field or
commercially proven. Still
very much in the "lab" phase.

Aspen Aerogel (Northborough,

Masachusettes)
Aerogel

An aerogel is directly derived from a wet gel in a process that replaces the
entrained liquid phase with air. If the gel is formed from a water phase, the
resulting semi-solid is called a hydrogel, and the water must be exchanged with
organic solvent prior to drying. If the gel is formed within an alcohol phase, the
resulting semi-solid is called an alcogel, and can be dried directly. This is
accomplished by increasing the temperature and pressure of the solvent phase
inside of the gel structure beyond its critical point. This supercritical
extraction condition lowers the surface tension between the liquid and the solid
pore surfaces so that depressurization of the system at temperatures above the
critical temperature leaves the pore structure filled with gas.
