Carlo Cariaga 21 Mar 2025

Registration is open for a webinar hosted by the AGA on the innovative coiled tubing drilling technology for shallow geothermal developed by CoilRig.

Registration is currently open for a webinar to be hosted by the Australian Geothermal Association on “CoilRig – Innovative Coiled Tubing Drilling Rigs for Shallow Geothermal.” Attendance to this webinar is free for all.

The details of the event are as follows:

In the latest installment of the Australian Geothermal Association’s webinar series, Soren Soe, founder of CoilRig will be talking about coiled tubing drilling vs. conventional drilling and the advantages of utilising this technology. He will be touching on the CTEnergy 500, the latest innovation developed by the CoilRig team and how they are shaking up the industry in the USA.

Soren Soe, the Co-founder of CoilRig™, joined UniSA, in 2018 and has held various Project, Engineering plus Executive leadership positions since completing his Bachelor of Science in Engineering in 1991. He has worked extensively with leading development and commercialisation of onshore drilling rigs for mineral exploration, geothermal drilling, geotechnical applications and Coiled Tubing rigs for the Oil and Gas industry. During his career Soren has expatriated from Denmark to China, The Netherlands and Poland managing drilling equipment companies as Knebel Drilling A/S, Boart Longyear and A.P. Moller Maersk.

Soren joined the Deep Exploration Technologies CRC (DET CRC) in early 2013 as Project leader for the flagship Coiled Tubing Drilling Project. In this role he has led a diverse team of researchers and technicians from METS drilling service and supply companies, manufacturers, the IT sector and academia. The key outcomes of this work include the successful development and commercialisation of the revolutionary Coiled Tubing Drilling rig for mineral exploration the RoXplorer® Coiled Tubing Drilling Rig which was awarded the 2018 CRC Associations “Excellence in innovation award”.

Soren Soe was one of the inventors of the RoXplorer® Coiled Tubing Drilling Rig developed for the Mining Industry and in MinEx CRC Soren lead the development of the RoXplorer® system for exploration plus a new RoXplorer® 1000 meter Coiled tubing drilling rig. His innovative efforts led to the successful acquisition of two international patents for Coiled Tubing Drilling systems.
