Summary
The Nordic country's new geothermal project has been planned at Tampere, Finland.
The new geothermal heating project that has been planned will result in the drilling of deep geothermal wells targeting a depth of 7-8,000 meters (4.3 – 4.9 miles). The wells are intended to derive geothermal heat for a local district heating system to replace fossil fuels.
Significant cost savings is an important goal of the project.
The deep well geothermal heating project will be undertaken by Robit Finland Oy, a Finnish drilling services company, in cooperation with TEGS Finland Oy. The focus of the cooperation is to improve the performance of drill bits that will be used for the deep well drilling, with the main goal being significant cost savings, reported ThinkGeoEnergy.
A single deep well is expected to need far less space above ground than conventional shallow geothermal wells. Furthermore, the heat can be stored in the deep well during the cooling season. This benefit is expected to improve the deep well’s efficiency ratio throughout the heating season.
