Summary
Hungarian PannErgy reports the successful drilling of a third well for its geothermal district heating project at Györ, Hungary in time for the upcoming heating season.
Hungarian geothermal company PannErgy Plc reports the successful conclusion of drilling for the BON-PE-03 exploration well to a length of 2,858 meters and a depth of 2,577 meters.
The test results show that the new thermal water well features excellent hydrodynamic properties, and due to its yield the aggregate thermal water extraction capacity of the
The geothermal project of Györ is expected to be as large as 1,100 m3/h, representing more than 20% total capacity expansion in the system. To reach this aggregate yield, the BON-PE-03 production well will operate with pumping, whereas the two other production wells will have self-flowing regimes. During the initial period of the heating season lasting for a few weeks and bringing about moderate weather circumstances, all the three production wells will run in self-producing mode – i.e. more or less without any loss of heat input -, and then the first half of October will see the installation of the well pump into the BON-PE-03 well. Accurate information for the yields can be established during the heating season, in the course of long-term operations. With the additional heat volumes coming from the increased capacities, PannErgy will be able to sell further green energy to existing customers.
