ModuSpec’ rig inspection team supporting the start-up of two KCA Deutag land-rigs in Germany

21-09-2023

ModuSpec contributed on the world’s first Eavor-Loop™ geothermal project to produce heat and power, by sending out our rig inspection team during the start-up of the KCA Deutag T-46 and T700 land-rigs.

ModuSpec proudly partnered with Eavor GmbH and its collaborators in Germany to facilitate the successful start-up of two KCA Deutag land-rigs, T-46 and T700, for the groundbreaking Eavor-Loop™ geothermal project. The primary objective of our rig inspection team was to ensure strict compliance, safety, and operational efficiency throughout the project's lifecycle. 

These rigs play a pivotal role in the world's first Eavor-Loop™ geothermal endeavor, aimed at harnessing renewable energy for heat and power generation. Given their long-term commitment to the project, it was imperative that both rigs were optimally equipped and prepared for extended service and reliability.

ModuSpec' inspection team engaged in a comprehensive range of activities, including equipment overhaul at KCA and Bentec facilities, on-site rig-up, and final acceptance testing. Our presence during the initial drilling phases ensured the seamless integration and effective operation of the well control equipment. 

One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the adoption of Eavor-Loop™ technology in European geothermal operations. This innovative technology utilizes a closed-loop system that circulates a benign working fluid, completely isolated from the environment. A massive subsurface radiator efficiently collects heat from the Earth's geothermal gradient via conduction, ultimately producing sustainable and environmentally friendly energy. 

ModuSpec is proud to contribute to the success of this pioneering geothermal project in Germany, which not only promotes sustainable energy but also sets new standards for safety, compliance, and operational excellence in the geothermal industry. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact of Eavor-Loop™ technology on the future of clean energy production in Europe.
