The Effort to Achieve The Best Performance Geothermal Drilling
Redha Bhawika Putra, Irfan Rasyid, Sentanu W. Reksalegora
Drilling accounts for roughly a third of the cost of developing a geothermal field, so every day saved on a well shows up directly on the project budget. This paper benchmarks Indonesia's fastest geothermal wells against current practice and maps out where the remaining time — and cost — can still be recovered.
The Review of Drilling Problem in Two Actual Slimhole Drilling Operations in Indonesia
Geofri W. O. Sairdola, Huda Nahrudi Ilham, Redha Bhawika Putra
Slimhole wells are a cheaper way to prove up a new geothermal field, but so few have been drilled in Indonesia that the practical lessons have gone largely unrecorded. This paper reviews two real slimhole operations at Cisolok-Cisukarame in West Java — both of which fell short of planned depth — and documents what went wrong and why.
