Last week the drilling started for the Westland Trias geothermal project,  a geothermal project initiated by 49 greenhouse companies aiming to heat their greenhouses in a renewable manner and with stable costs.

After about 2 weeks section 1 will be completed. Then section 2 will follow with a diameter of about 43 centimeters to a depth of 2,559 meters. Section 3 is a borehole with a diameter of about 30 centimeters to a depth of 4,204 meters.

Section 4 continues to drill to the Trias layer at a depth of 4,560 meters. This last hole will not be cemented in connection with the recovery of heat. The well-test is expected to take place in January 2018.
