Effectively testing on the Sidirokastro geothermal subject in Serres, Greece (supply: HSGME)
The HSGME has carried out nicely testing on the low-enthalpy Sidirokastro geothermal subject in Serres, Greece, measuring 78 °C from a 154-meter-deep nicely.
Testing of a large-diameter geothermal analysis borehole Sd17PN within the Sidirokastro geothermal subject in Serres, Greece has indicated temperatures of round 78 °C from a depth of 153.8 meters. This represents the best temperature recorded within the low-enthalpy geothermal fields within the Prefecture of Serres.
The drilling and testing of the geothermal analysis nicely in Sidirokastro was made attainable by the Hellenic Survey of Geology and Mineral Exploration (HSGME), m0re particularly Drs. Apostolos Arvanitis – Head of Geothermal and Thermal Pure Assets Division (GEOTHE), Vasileio Zorapa – Head of Hydrogeology and Hydrology Division (HYDROGE), Panagiotis Vakalopoulos – Geologist of GEOTHE Division and Vasileio Maramatha – Undertaking Supervisor of HYDROGE Division.
The borehole was drilled to a complete depth of 153.80 meters, tapping a useful resource with a hydrostatic stage of 91.85 meters. The nicely had an inside diameter of 8 inches at depth. A particular underwater pump meeting with most 40 hp and temperature resistance as much as 90 °C was used and set at 109.2 meters depth.
Throughout testing, a steady provide was achieved at a flowrate of 75 cubic meters per hour. Get better of the hydrostatic stage was pretty fast at solely 22 seconds after a drop of two.10 meters. Temperature was steady throughout movement testing inside a spread of 78.0 to 78.2 °C and measured pH was steady at 6.63.
The workforce estimates that the useful resource can assist a steady flowrate of at the least 120 cubic meters per hour with a larger-diameter borehole.
The very encouraging outcomes of the check pumping strengthened the attention-grabbing utilization of geothermal power basically within the County of Serres and was a topic of debate for additional utilization within the conferences held by the EAGME with native authorities our bodies and providers.
The HSGME had beforehand printed a paper that establishes administration requirements for low-enthalpy geothermal fields in Greece, in an effort to obtain the rational and sustainable utilization of the low-enthalpy assets.
Mining and check pumping of large-diameter geothermal analysis borehole befell inside the framework of the Sub-project “ACTIONS FOR THE ORTHOLOGICAL AND SUSTAINABLE VALUATION OF GEOTHERM” of the Act: “Research and analysis to assist the power sector of trade and entrepreneurship – OPYGEK”, executed by the Division of GEOTH of EAGME and funded by the Enterprise Program “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship, Innovation” – EPANEK.
