GRE pipes (supply: Future Pipes Trade)
The GRE GEO undertaking shall be presenting developments in using fiberglass casing for geothermal boreholes on the upcoming Celle Drilling occasion.
Because the GEOTHERMICA-funded GRE-GEO undertaking nears its conclusion, it’s set to unveil its newest developments on the Celle Drilling 2024 exhibition.
Throughout a collection of expert-led workshops on September 18th specializing in the progressive use of glass fiber strengthened epoxy (GRE) in geothermal methods, individuals could have the distinctive alternative to be taught first-hand concerning the undertaking’s developments and focus on their questions immediately with the consultants concerned.
The collection shall be led by Ferid Seyidov, a undertaking engineer at Vulcan Power, and can embrace 4 workshops. Every workshop will concentrate on a particular side of the GRE- GEO undertaking:
- Govert de With from the Nuclear Analysis and Consultancy Group (NRG) will handle the essential points of fabric alternative in geothermal methods. His workshop will supply a deep dive into radioactive scale modeling and evaluate future undertaking trajectories utilizing GRE versus metal.
- Ferid Seyidov’s session will discover normal effectively design for GRE tubulars in casing and protecting barrier functions. Inside this workshop, undertaking associate Drilltec may even current the brand new GRE dealing with instrument.
- Javier Holzmann (TU Clausthal), Leo de Mul (Dynaflow Analysis Group), and Kees Rookus (Future Pipe Industries) will full the collection with two workshops specializing in innovating GRE tubular qualification for downhole functions.

Presentation slides may even be uploaded to our web site www.gre-geo.org.
Organized by GeoCelle eV, Celle Drilling is an annual occasion that gives a venue for professionals from academia and business to debate cutting-edge drilling applied sciences and drilling functions, in addition to case research. The occasion is a targeted platform for the worldwide change on these topics and associated subjects.
About GRE GEO
Corrosion and scaling considerably cut back the lifespan of historically used metal tubing methods, which should make sure the integrity of the wellbore. Consequently, workover procedures grow to be needed ahead of anticipated, which ends up in a big monetary burden.
In distinction, fiberglass casing (GRE) is a fascinating different as a result of this materials is corrosion resistant. Nonetheless, in comparison with metal, GRE pipes have been out there solely with comparatively small internal diameters with excessively giant outer diameters.
The GRE-GEOproject (glass fiber strengthened epoxy casing for geothermal functions) is creating a brand new technique for effectively completion. It goals to supply a corrosion-resistant different to scale back geothermal power growth and manufacturing prices whereas avoiding further funding.
The undertaking is carried out from a consortium of eight companions:
- Vulcan Energie Ressourcen GmbH, Germany, important coordinator
- DrillTec GUT GmbH, Germany
- TU Clausthal (ITE), Germany
- Future Pipe Industries (FPI), Netherlands, nationwide market chief
- Dynaflow Analysis Group DRG, Netherlands
- Nuclear Analysis and Consultancy Group NRG, Netherlands
- Eartha AG, Switzerland
- Service Industriels de Genève, Switzerland, cooperation associate
