Canada:

DEEP Geothermal Project is a Natural Fit in Estevan Area (Estevan Mercury)

A couple of exploration sites have already been identified and a follow up seismic program will determine the best one by the end of this year. 

Kirsten Marcia, P.Geo.: President, CEO & Director DEEP

The DEEP Geothermal project in Saskatchewan should be easier to sell in Estevan and Calgary than Toronto’s Bay Street. At least that’s the assumption the project’s promoter is making as she finds herself embedded in the second phase of an exciting electrical production program near Estevan.

Kirsten Marcia, a graduate of Estevan Comprehensive School, who holds degrees in geological engineering, sees the Deep Earth Energy Production (DEEP) project as one that local and Calgary-based oil patch and other production people should be able to understand and quickly embrace as doable. It would probably take a little longer to explain the intricacies to the Bay Street crowd who might not “get it,” as quickly as the oil patch teams do, she suggested.

“The best geothermal source in Canada is right here in southeast Saskatchewan. We have a supportive government behind the project. We will be providing base load electrical power into the nearby grid system, and it’s being done in an already explored area, so there are no surprises, no regulatory hurdles because it’s environmentally friendly."
