Former Estevan resident Kirsten Marcia, who is the president of DEEP, said, “Now that we’ve done our flow and build up test, we are back in the field.”
The first thing they did was recomplete the first well into an injection well, and then they took all that fluid on the site and injecting it down into the injection well. It’s been monitored with gauges to see how well it responds to reinjection.
“As soon as that’s complete, we’re drilling our second well.”
Marcia said, “Things can move quite quickly at this standpoint. We need that second well in place so we can do the long-term loop and refine our engineering and construction plans. But after that, things can move very quickly. The longest lead item is ordering the Organic Rankine Cycle power generating facility, which can take 12 to 16 months. The rest is infill drilling.”
“At this point, we believe we can have power to the grid at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.”
