Geothermal Drilling Supervision
We specialise in providing functional on-site geothermal drilling supervision, working closely with our clients to deliver wells that meet their expectations in terms of budget and output. We offer a team of highly specialised and experienced supervisors to meet your project’s needs.
Whilst geothermal drilling involves risks, our extensive experience with a wide array of environmental conditions helps to ensure your project will be brought to a successful conclusion.
We have worked on every geothermal field in New Zealand as well as many other fields internationally, achieving positive results. We maintain the highest professional standards and work to current Codes of Practice.
In our work, we strive to protect our clients’ interests. We view it as our responsibility to protect our client’s investment in the project.

Well Design and Drilling Engineering Services
We provide well design and planning services for large and small clients. We perform all aspects of drilling engineering for successful, cost effective and safe implementation of drilling activities. A successful project is one where all parts of a project work together to meet the client’s goals and expectations.
Our drilling engineering services include drilling programmes, casing design, directional well paths, cementing, aerated drilling, work over designs, establish and administer drilling and service contracts and operation execution. By liaising closely with relevant internal and external parties we ensure that the drilling programme is carried out as per the approved plan and contracts. We prepare the drilling budget needed for the operation and monitor actual drilling expenditure against AFE(ACV) for ongoing activities.
The safety of a drilling programme is paramount. We understand the HSE procedures and rules related to drilling activities, so therefore promote the implementation of them. The day to day operation and entire drilling plan is reviewed daily to evaluate the procedures and technical approach for future reference. We design and drill wells using the most efficient drilling practices and techniques to ensure a commercially sound outcome for the client.

Projects
In geothermal energy drilling we should always expect the unexpected. Although risks can be identified and planned for in advance, due to a combination of local factors every job is unique. For this reason, even a relatively simple job can sometimes turn out to be a complex project.
In such situations, effective problem-solving and decision-making are critical. Delays in decisions are highly expensive and can cause problems to become unmanageable. Our extensive experience in a wide range of operational conditions enables us to offer innovative solutions to down hole problems and implement these solutions with minimal delay.
BDC Geothermal and Associates, have a proven track record in providing effective solutions to on-site problems as they arise. Refer to our Projects page for examples of our work.
