Abstract

Future development of thermal drilling systems is recommended to focus on reliable growth, safety, and environmental improvements, as well as increases in performance. Specific challenges related to improving thermal drilling technology include developing unconventional thermal ice-drilling methods; searching for new heating technologies; developing directional thermal-drilling methods; and designing automated drilling systems. The certain steps have been taken to test unconventional thermal ice-drilling methods like dissolution drilling, flame-jet drilling, and laser drilling.
