Welcome to the Drilling Simulator Celle

The Drilling Simulator Celle is an interdisciplinary research network at Clausthal University of Technology in the research field of "Sustainable Energy Systems". The central objective of the DSC is to significantly reduce the technical, economic and environmental project risks of planned deep drilling projects for the energetic use of the geological subsurface in the context of implementing the energy and heat transition. To this end, the research center has a highly specific and unparalleled experimental and simulation environment that enables innovative research work to understand the highly complex deep drilling processes.

The research approach comprises both basic research-oriented and strongly application- and transfer-oriented aspects. This is reflected in the distribution of third-party funding from industry, federal ministries and European regional funding as well as the German Research Foundation.
