Skidding of the Rig - United Downs Geothermal Power Project (UDDGP)
(Video 1:30 Minutes)
After the drilling of UD-1, the production well, was completed to a depth of 5,275m, the 500 tonne rig was 'skid' across the site by 8m in order to be in position to drill UD-2, the injection well to a depth of 3000m!
Monday 20th May - We have finished drilling to the first casing point of UD-2 at 809m. We are now preparing to run the 13 3/8" casing over the next couple of days and cement it into place, we will then be ready to start drilling the next section of the well. - The UDDGP team.
