GA Drilling develops downhole drilling systems for hard-rock geothermal and oil and gas wells.
gadrilling.comCrawled Oct 25, 2026
GA Drilling manufactures downhole drilling tools for hard rock, coiled tubing, and extended reach wells, with NexTitan applying up to 32,000 lbf at the bit on standard rigs.
NexTitan autonomous downhole control eliminates stick-slip and lifts ROP 20-50%. Real-time drilling automation at the bit for geothermal and oil & gas.
NexTitan Extens removes the weight-on-bit limit in coiled tubing drilling, enabling hard rock wells on continuous tubing with faster, cheaper operations.
NexTitan Pulse plasma drilling overcomes hard rock barriers. Contactless drilling at 6,000°C eliminates bit wear for efficient crystalline formation drilling.
GA Drilling’s blog covers geothermal energy, oil & gas drilling technology, and sustainable energy solutions.
GA Drilling’s case studies demonstrate NexTitan technology validation, field tests, and partnerships in geothermal and oil & gas drilling.
GA Drilling has secured $44.1 million to take NexTitan, its downhole anchoring and drive system, into full-scale commercial deployment.
NexTitan delivers continuous thrust in hard rock. In April 2026, two coordinated Downhole Drive Units drilled 66 ft of phyllite at NORCE Ullrigg, Stavanger.
GA Drilling provides press kits, keynotes, and media assets for accurate coverage of its geothermal technology and partnerships.
GA Drilling collaborates with scientists and engineers to develop deep, clean, and reliable geothermal energy solutions.
