Provision of cementing services during deep geothermal drilling and completion operations at the Eden Project, UK.

Drilling will be almost solely in granite at elevated temperature. Bidders should be able to perform and monitor cementing operations in granite or similar crystalline rock, with an emphasis on expertise in hot underground conditions and using weight reduced cements. They must demonstrate their ability to install their equipment and perform cementations on large land rigs (> 300 tons).
