Working with Weyburn’s Panther Drilling, DEEP Earth Energy is continuing work on their geothermal project here in southeast Saskatchewan. Based near Torquay, they are working on a smaller scale project to be able to show the feasibility of a geothermal power generation station in Saskatchewan. To help accomplish that, the company recently drilled the deepest well in Saskatchewan.
“We just completed our second well in our winter program, and we’ll be starting up our third well shortly here,” explained Kirsten Marcia, the CEO of DEEP Earth Energy. She pointed out that they are working to get as much of the drilling done ahead of the spring break-up as possible, so they can get detailed data that will help them with their banking feasibility study. This is needed to help secure the funding for the construction of a full-scale facility.
The hope is to have five of these stratigraphic wells completed by that time.
