In Greek mythology, Hephaestus was the god of fire, volcanoes – the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Vulcan. We adopted his name because we, too, intend to harness the power of the heat in the Earth.
We were founded with the idea of harnessing abundant heat to make a difference to the world. Our team is dedicated to launching a new generation of drilling technology, allowing geothermal energy to be developed cost-effectively, safely, and efficiently around the world. This infinite power source is the only sustainable, low emission energy system that can provide baseload power to the grid.
The coming years will bring a whole new generation of geothermal wells – wells that can be drilled anywhere and at scale, bringing cost reductions that will make geothermal energy economically attractive. Hephae will bring to market the enabling technology that the industry will need to accurately, safely and productively drill these wells.

Our CEO Steve Krase talks to Drilling Contractor about unconventional geothermal systems at the 2022 IADC/SPE International Drilling Conference in Galveston, Texas.
Our CEO Steve Krase talks to Nick Cestari about how to make geothermal energy scalable and accessible everywhere, and how Hephae will contribute with the high temperature drilling and measurement tools that will be an important part of the equation.
In December 2020 our CTO John Clegg was interviewed by Jamie Beard for her Heat Beat blog. We thought it would be fun to revisit the article and see how far we have come!
