Saipem provides comprehensive low-medium and high-enthalpy geothermal solutions, leveraging a considerable expertise in drilling and building large onshore facilities and transport systems.
Your partner for geothermal energy
With this extensive expertise in Oil & Gas and an experience of more than 50 years in harnessing conventional geothermal energy, we support clients in realising geothermal projects, whether targeting heat or electricity, through a diversified portfolio.
Our know-how, proven technologies, and reliable partners allow us to deliver efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable geothermal energy solutions tailored to diverse needs.
Key advantages
With a solid foundation in drilling complex wells and in EPCI for large-scale energy and infrastructure facilities, we can reduce costs by up to 20% for medium-enthalpy projects, mitigate risk from high to moderate levels, accelerate time-to-market, and significantly improve project bankability.
Our global experience
Experience, research and technology at the service of geothermal energy.
Our approach
We manage the entire value chain, from drilling to surface facilities:
Innovation and sustainability
Saipem strategically fosters synergies with other key areas within the decarbonisation pathways.
The hybridisation of close-to-market projects and technologies, such as the integration of CO₂ capture systems with low- to medium-enthalpy geothermal energy, plays a pivotal role in accelerating decarbonisation.
Bluenzyme™, Saipem’s proprietary enzymatic carbon capture solution, tackles this challenge by leveraging low- to medium-geothermal energy as a process energy source. It is engineered to utilise low-grade residual heat sources, thereby enhancing the sustainability of carbon capture and storage, while supporting the transition to net-zero emissions.
Looking forward
Our research and development activities focus on contributing to global decarbonisation efforts by working on four fronts:
1) Reusing oil & gas infrastructure and know-how for geothermal energy
2) Recovering valuable minerals from geothermal brines
3) Developing closed-loop systems for exploiting geothermal resources without extraction
4) Tailored feasibility assessment of offshore geothermal developments
Our commitment to innovation and sustainability positions us as a trusted partner for organisations seeking reliable, renewable energy solutions.
