What a week. New Orleans delivered โ€” and so did GTD desco.

From the GT45 and MG500 Mud Guzzler, to the new GTD Drill Pipe & Casing Grab and the Intric Grouting Solutions Geo Grouter System, our stand showcased the full geothermal package โ€” drilling, solids control, grouting, and live data โ€” all integrated and working together.

Huge thanks to Jochen Hatlapa for demonstrating our fully integrated and remote data monitoring system, linking every part of the setup in real time. The response was incredible โ€” proof that connected, data-driven geothermal drilling is here.

We sold rigs on Day 1, had constant crowds at the booth, and โ€” according to someone from the Comacchio SpA stand โ€” they were calling it โ€œThe GTD Show.โ€ – Thatโ€™s a compliment weโ€™ll happily take.

Massive thanks to National Ground Water Association for another world-class event, and to everyone who stopped by, supported us, and helped make this our biggest year yet. – Jonathan Dalferes

Thanks also to everyone who attended our session on geothermal drilling, and a huge shout-out to the panel who make it what it is โ€” Kortney Lull, Alex Bosch & Brad Cross. Without them it simply wouldnโ€™t be the same โ€” each brings real-world experience and honesty that keeps it grounded and valuable. And a special thank-you to Thad Plumley for the flattering introduction, and for the many mentions and write-ups over the past year in the Water Well Journal.

And the momentum doesnโ€™t stop here โ€” plans are already in action for a collaboration on a New Truck-Mounted Water Well Rig. – More to come on this one ๐Ÿ˜‰. After continuous pestering and requests from so many drillers, weโ€™re finally moving forward.

Weโ€™re also expanding into RC Exploration Drill Rigs, bringing GTD performance and design to a whole new sector.

Lastly โ€” to all our clients, new and old, potential clients, suppliers, industry friends, and even competitors who stopped by to wish us well, lend a hand, or share a drink โ€” thank you. Itโ€™s that mix of camaraderie and competition that keeps this industry alive and moving forward.

Youโ€™ll find us next at Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), International Ground Source Heat Pump Association, CONEXPO-CON/AGG, and Geofluid before we return to NGWA 2026 โ€” bigger than ever.
