Update from the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project (Geothermal Engineering Ltd)
Monday 1st July - We have now completed the drilling of both wells. UD-1 reached a depth of 5275m in April and on Friday 28th June UD-2 reached a depth of 2393m, having reached the Porthtowan Fault Zone.
Demobilisation of the Innovarig will now commence from this week. We are currently in the process of removing all the ancillary equipment before the removal of the main rig elements by the end of July.
Once the rig and ancillary equipment have all been removed from site, we will need to take time to prepare for the testing phase of the project. This may include the need for a ‘workover’ rig to carry out some activities.
