Core offering

H. Anger's Söhne is a drilling and well construction company founded in 1863, offering comprehensive services in shallow drilling (wells and water, up to 1,000m) and deep drilling (mineral resources, geothermal, storage facilities, up to 7,000m). The portfolio includes well construction, regeneration and refurbishment, horizontal collector wells, geothermal energy services, reservoir exploration, storage and workover, abandoned mine management, and special drilling tasks, performed with a proprietary fleet of self-developed drilling rigs.

Product overview

H. Anger's Söhne is a drilling and well construction company founded in 1863, offering comprehensive services in two core areas: shallow drilling (wells and water, up to 1000m) and deep drilling (mineral resources, up to 7000m). The company's portfolio includes well construction, regeneration and refurbishment, horizontal collector wells, geothermal energy services, reservoir exploration, storage and workover, abandoned mine management, and special drilling tasks. The company operates a fleet of specialized drilling equipment including the HAS Innova Rig (deepest to 7000m), HAS ZA 417/5, HAS WW 185, HAS B4, and HAS HB 1 horizontal drilling unit. The company holds ISO 9001, SCC, and DVGW certifications and employs approximately 200 people.

Partnerships

Seven partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• St1 Deep Heat OycoreOthers · 18 September 2018Finnish energy company client for the Otaniemi geothermal project where H. Anger's Söhne achieved the world record for deepest geothermal drilling at 6,400 meters. Company provided drilling services and project management.
• Stadtwerke München (SWM)coreOthers · 1 September 2015Munich municipal utility company for the Freiham geothermal doublette project. H. Anger's Söhne drilled geothermal wells at depths over 2,300 meters for district heating.
• Foragelec Joint VenturecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 November 2014German-French consortium including H. Anger's Söhne, Fonroche Géothermie, and Herrenknecht Vertical. Formed to drill deep geothermal wells in France with the aim of creating 4 geothermal power plants around Strasbourg to cover 80% of the heating demand in the Strasbourg area by 2024.
• INFLUINS Research ConsortiumminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 May 2013Interdisciplinary research project with University of Jena involving over 50 scientists. Partners include BGR, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, LIAG, IPHT, and TLUG. H. Anger's Söhne drilled the research well for examining fluid dynamics in sediment reservoirs.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bauer AG: Large German foundation engineering and drilling contractor with deep foundations, bored piles, and specialized drilling services. While broader than HAS in construction, its deep-drilling and geothermal capabilities compete for similar large-scale projects.
• Herrenknecht AG: Global leader in tunnel boring machines and vertical drilling rigs, partner in HAS Innova Rig development and Foragelec JV. Comparable in deep-drilling equipment and project execution, but operates at a much larger global scale across infrastructure and energy.
• Wintershall Dea AG: Major European oil and gas operator with interests in deep drilling, underground gas storage, and increasingly geothermal/CCS. Comparable as a potential customer or competitor for deep-drilling services and storage well construction projects.

Direct peers

• Fonroche Géothermie: French deep geothermal developer and HAS's JV partner in Foragelec, focused on delivering district-heating geothermal plants across France. Direct peer in deep geothermal drilling services and a key customer/partner for HAS's French pipeline.
• Daldrup & Söhne AG: German drilling and well construction company with deep geothermal and mineral exploration drilling services across Europe. Closely comparable to HAS in services, technology, and customer base, and is one of the few listed pure-play European deep drilling specialists.
• Geothermal Engineering Ltd (GEL): UK-based deep geothermal drilling and project developer focused on delivering deep geothermal projects in the UK and Europe. Comparable to HAS in targeting urban district-heating geothermal deployments with deep-drilling expertise.

Others

• Stadtwerke München (SWM): Major German municipal utility and HAS customer for the Munich Freiham geothermal doublet project. Functions as a buyer of deep-drilling services for district heating decarbonization rather than a competitor, but is representative of the utility customer base HAS targets.
• St1 Deep Heat Oy: Finnish energy company developing deep geothermal heat projects, including the Otaniemi plant where HAS set the world record. Functions primarily as a customer in HAS's portfolio rather than a competitor, but is a key reference point for European deep geothermal deployment.

Emerging players

• Eavor Technologies Inc. Canadian closed-loop geothermal technology company commercializing a next-generation geothermal system that does not require traditional deep drilling. Represents a potential disruptive alternative to conventional deep-drilling service providers like HAS.

Regional players

• Iceland Drilling Company (Jardboranir): Icelandic geothermal and deep-drilling specialist with strong expertise in high-temperature geothermal wells. Comparable in deep-drilling technical capabilities, though primarily serving Iceland's geothermal market rather than competing directly in DACH.
