    摘要: Wellbore for extracting heat from magma and a corresponding method. The method includes the steps of drilling a borehole from a surface and towards a magma chamber; supplying a drilling fluid to an interface between a drill bit and a terminal end of the borehole during drilling; terminating the drilling in response to the borehole achieving a predetermined depth; and supplying a thermodynamic fluid into the borehole to maintain the borehole while completing the wellbore. The drilling fluid lifts cuttings out of the borehole and quenches magma to form a solid phase material that can be cut by the drill bit.

    摘要: In some aspects, the present disclosure includes methods and systems for grounding mobile equipment at a site, such as a hydrocarbon drilling and production site. In one embodiment, the system comprises a mobile unit; one or more ground rods configured to penetrate a portion of a grounded surface; one or more grounding connectors coupled to the one or more ground rods and the mobile unit; and one or more actuators coupled to the mobile unit. The one or more actuators may be used to drive the one or more ground rods into the portion of the grounded surface, thereby creating an electric flowpath to allow for the discharge of electricity.
