Drilling of the third and final new production well at the San Jacinto project, SJ 9-4, was completed on July 21, 2016, approximately one week ahead of schedule. As contemplated in the original drilling plan, a total loss of drilling fluids was experienced, indicating a zone of high permeability and the well was completed at a depth of 1,525 meters measured depth.
While it is too early to estimate incremental MW contribution, the well has reached over 260°C and was able to successfully flow on its own in a discharge test performed last week, creating optimism with respect to the extent of incremental power generation. We expect to have SJ 9-4 connected to the San Jacinto power plant in late October 2016.
