Title: Basement rock hybrid drilling

Abstract

A system for monitoring borehole parameters and switching to millimeter wave drilling based on the borehole parameters is provided. The system can include a mechanical drilling apparatus for forming a first portion of a borehole of a well. The first portion of the borehole can be formed based on a permeability of the first portion of the borehole and a temperature within the first portion of the borehole. The system can also include a millimeter wave drilling apparatus configured to inject millimeter wave radiation energy into a second portion of the borehole of the well via a waveguide. The second portion of the borehole can be formed via the millimeter wave drilling apparatus in response to determining the permeability of the first portion of the borehole is below a permeability threshold value and the temperature within the first portion of the borehole exceeds a temperature threshold value.
