Mode de forage qui consiste à mettre en œuvre une turbine, placée juste au-dessus du trépan et mise en mouvement par le fluide de forage circulant sous pression, les tiges n’ étant pas alors soumises au mouvement de rotation. 4, record 1, French, - turbo%2Dforage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Dans le turbo-forage seule la turbine tourne. Son inertie est relativement élevée et sa vitesse grande. Ceci compense l'immobilité du train de tiges. Mais, dans certains cas, il peut être avantageux de réunir le trépan à la turbine par quelques mètres de masse-tige. Enfin on peut ajouter un ou deux stabilisateurs au-dessus de la turbine [...] La technique du turbo-forage est maintenant au point et l'on sait diriger la turbine comme on l'entend. 5, record 1, French, - turbo%2Dforage

Si la géothermie haute énergie(exemple de Bouillante en Guadeloupe) repose sur l'exploitation de l'eau chaude souterraine, la géothermie profonde utilise la chaleur emmagasinée dans des formations rocheuses peu perméables qui, en l'absence d’eau, est difficile à capter. Il s’agit alors de créer artificiellement des réservoirs géothermiques en profondeur. La technique? Fragmenter en profondeur des roches chaudes par injection d’eau sous pression et créer un échangeur thermique profond via le forage de plusieurs puits. Une boucle est alors établie et l'eau, réchauffée au contact des roches chaudes, cède son énergie à une unité de surface produisant de l'électricité, via une turbine. 2, record 2, French, - g%C3%A9othermie%20profonde

A drill developed in the U.S.S.R. for drilling deep oil wells. One type is designed as a turbine and driven by the drilling fluid which is circulated at high pressure. 4, record 3, English, - turbodrill
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
There are two types of turbodrill or down-hole mud motor: the turbine, of which there are about six successful types, and the Dynadrill, a Moyno pump operating in reverse, consisting of a spiral shaft contained within a rubber sleeve. ... The down-hole turbine is basically similar to a gas turbine having a multi-stage stator and rotor. 5, record 3, English, - turbodrill
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
When a turbodrill is used, rotary motion is imparted only at the bit; therefore, it is not necessary to rotate the drill stem. Although straight holes can be drilled with the tool, it is used often in directional drilling. 6, record 3, English, - turbodrill
