Abstract: A system includes a power unit, and a coiled tubing (CT) reel for spooling a CT string. The system includes a CT injector for injecting the CT string from a surface into a subsurface to construct a geothermal borehole. The CT injector includes a gooseneck for guiding the CT string into a body of the CT injector. The system includes a first arm for coupling the CT reel and the power unit. The system includes a second arm for coupling the CT injector and the power unit. The system is configured to modify the distance between the CT reel and the gooseneck by adjusting at least one of (i) the length of the first arm or (ii) the length of the second arm.

Abstract: A system collects a plurality of drill cuttings from a subsurface of a geothermal borehole while drilling the borehole. The system obtains a plurality of thermal conductivity values for the plurality of drill cuttings. The system determines, using the plurality of thermal conductivity values, thermal performance data of the geothermal borehole. In accordance with a determination that the thermal performance data of the geothermal borehole meets or exceeds a threshold value, the system updates, according to the thermal performance data, one or more drilling parameters to one or more updated drilling parameters and controls the drilling of the geothermal borehole according to the one or more updated drilling parameters.

Abstract: A system for constructing geothermal fields includes a coiled tubing (CT) string, a power source, and an electrically activated bottomhole assembly (BHA) coupled to the CT string. The electrically activated BHA includes an electric motor and a drill bit. The system includes one or more processors and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to deploy the CT string from a surface into a subsurface for drilling a geothermal borehole, and cause the system to, during the drilling, (i) transfer power from the power source to the electric motor via at least a first portion of the CT string and (ii) transfer electrical current from the electric motor to the electric power source via an electrical conductor that is different from the at least the first portion of the CT string.
