Arverne Group strengthens its operational capabilities  for deep geothermal projects 

Pau, December 20th, 2024 – Arverne Group (FR001400JWR8, ARVEN), a French industrial company specializing in the production of renewable energy from underground resources, announces the receipt, by its subsidiary DrillDeep, of a new deep drilling rig, named B18.

Co-designed by Arverne Group and built by its German partner Herrenknecht Vertical¹, this new rig, with a capacity of 250 tons, will be used for deep geothermal operations, from 500 to 3000 meters in depth. Compact, it maximizes drilling performance safely, especially in an urban environment. Its innovative design also aims to reduce environmental impact through an optimized system for drilling fluid treatment and energy reuse.

This drilling rig thus complements the Group's operational fleet, which is a strategic asset that enables the development of all types of geothermal heat projects.

"This new state-of-the-art drilling rig strengthens our integrated industrial tool. The control over the availability of our own fleet of rigs allows us to accelerate our development by securing our future geothermal operations, aimed at producing local, renewable, and continuously available energy." says Pierre Brossollet, Founder and Chairman & CEO of Arverne Group.
