Quaise Energy: “Millimeter wave drilling is the most transformational drilling technology since the drill bit was introduced to the world in the 1930s. It’s the key that finally unlocks superhot geothermal energy worldwide, and we’re already getting started on our first power project in the western United States.

Millimeter wave drilling is what makes geothermal universal, not niche. It’s far more than just a new tool. It’s as consequential as peering into the atom, going into orbit, and mapping the human genome. And, it can open the door to terawatts of geothermal power for the entire world.

Ultradeep & Superhot!

Recently, Quaise Energy showcased millimeter wave drilling on a full-scale Nabors rig, and moved one step closer to superhot geothermal power production.

This is the first-ever hybrid drilling rig, combining conventional and millimeter wave capabilities.

Quaise plans to drill superhot geothermal wells that can generate abundant baseload power in record time. They believe there is no other energy solution capable of the same scale and speed.
