Geodynamics has achieved higher flow rates and flowing pressure with the second open flow test at its Habanero-4 geothermal well in the Cooper Basin. The test achieved an average production rate of 38 kilograms per second (kg/s) at a flowing pressure of over 4,200 psi after local stimulation was completed.

The local stimulation saw 1,900 cubic meters of water pumped into the well over a two day period. Major stimulation has now commenced to extend and enhance the known fracture zone. This is expected to be completed in early December.
