United Downs Deep Geothermal Project - Drilling Progress (GEL)
Wednesday 24th April - Yesterday afternoon we reached the end of our final bit run and finished the drilling of UD-1, at a total measured depth of 5,275m. That equates to a true vertical depth below ground of 5,057m. Everyone on the United Downs Deep Geothermal Project (UDDGP) team, and our contractors, is very proud of this achievement.
Over the next few days we will be running geophysical logs over the open hole interval and then carrying out a short production test, which will give us our first indication of how permeable our target structure is. Once that is complete, we will prepare to move the rig 8m to the south, to begin drilling UD-2.
