Work still continues at the site of the two geothermal wells, says Director of Public Works Ron Beardsley.
The official was responding to queries about the progress on the project now that the Iceland Drilling Company has completed their work here.“Well MON-01 is currently flowing and long term testing which will take approximately three weeks is about to commence,” explained Beardsley.
“Although IDC have left site we have an experienced drilling engineer from Capuano Engineering, who project managed the drilling phase on behalf of government, who remain in full time attendance.”
The second well, called MON-02 “is shut in and is currently warming up after the drilling phase. Testing of this well will follow on after completion of testing of well MON-01. On completion of testing both wells will be shut in as we move into the next phase of development,” the public works official explained.
