Drilling of the 2900-meter Velika Gorica geothermal nicely in Croatia is predicted to start out quickly and can final till July 2025.
An data board has been put in on the web site of the Velika Gorica geothermal web site in Croatia, marking the beginning of the drilling work for the VGGT-1 geothermal nicely. Drilling is predicted to start by mid-December and proceed till July 2025.
The VGGT-1 nicely might be drilled vertically to a goal depth of 2900 meters, with the opportunity of deepening by a further 20 meters. Two reservoirs are anticipated to be intersected by the nicely – one at 2020 meters, and one other at 2770 meters. Anticipated temperatures of the geothermal waters is at 90 °C.
Exploration actions on the Velika Gorica preliminary exploration space are being carried out as a part of the mission “Improvement of geothermal potential for heating wants” which is financed by the Nationwide Restoration and Resilience Plan (NRRP). The mission goals to extend the contribution of renewable vitality sources, and particularly geothermal, within the nation’s heating sector.
Earlier this 12 months, the Croatian Hydrocarbon Company (AZU) awarded the contract for geothermal nicely drilling on the Velika Gorica, Zaprešic, Osijek, and Vinkovci to Crosco. The corporate had beforehand been concerned in geothermal drilling on the Veliko Koronevo and Ernestinovo websites.
