Geomachine in the Geoenergidagen event

Geoenergidagen

Geomachine wants to actively engage in the discussion on renewable energy. For this reason, it often participates in the events that are organized on this topic worldwide.

“In the beginning of October 2024 we participated in the Geoenergidagen event, held in Nynäshamn, Sweden,” says Ari Kuhalampi, Product Line Director at Geomachine. “The two-day event brought together some of the most prominent players in the geoenergy sector from around Sweden and the Nordic countries.”

Geomachine focused on highlighting the unique features of the GM2000 drilling solution during its presentation. “Drilling geothermal wells has truly become replicable and cost-effective thanks to our GM2000 solution. The required area for drilling is minimal, just a 30m x 40m space is enough. The equipment is easy to set-up and transport. The actual drilling, machine control, and drilling progress monitoring are made possible with the GMTracker data-logger.”

According to Ari Kuhalampi, the efficiency of the drilling process and, therefore, the timely completion of the well is based on the phased drilling process. “In the first phase, the attention is paid to surface layer, then the water, and in the final phase, drilling is carried out to the target depth using data collected by the GMTracker data-logger. Using the latest IoT and cloud technologies this information can also be saved and shared in real-time with everyone who needs it.”

According to Ari Kuhalampi, another factor contributing to the cost-effectiveness of the drilling process is how the machines are maintained. “At Geoenergidagen, we also introduced Geomachine’s GMCare maintenance service, which helps shift from reactive to predictive maintenance of drilling equipment. When the necessary maintenance can be done systematically and by communicating efficiently with the service, the utilization rate and productivity of the machines can be maximized.”
