Summary

The city utility of Munich in Germany, SWM has successfully drilled the third of six wells for the planned geothermal heating plant at HKW South. Pumping tests to be started today, will show whether the yield and temperature of the thermal water resources meet expectations.

During the tests steam will escape and due to its chemical composition, there might be some odor nuisance. If the deep water meets atmospheric oxygen, it creates a “musty” odor. This is completely harmless.

The results of the performance tests on holes 1 and 2 were already very promising: the temperature was much higher than expected, the yield was on schedule.
