Summary
Drilling has officially commenced for the geothermal heating project in the grounds of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. A spud event was held at the site on the 21st of June in the presence of more than 200 guests, and the actual drilling work followed after a few days on the 26th of June.
The 20-meter-high drilling rig will be drilling vertically for about one kilometer before deviating for an additional 500 meters. Two holes are planned for the project. A conductor casing had already been previously installed in the well.
