Pertamina Geothermal Energy,GDC and AGIL to develop 200 MW Suswa ,Narok Geothermal Field

Pertamina Geothermal Energy, GDC, and AGIL Agree to Accelerate Development of 2 Geothermal Fields in Kenya By: Robert Buluma Nairobi, Kenya, March 8, 2024 – PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE) has reached an agreement with Kenya's geothermal development companies, Geothermal Development Company Ltd. (GDC), and Africa Geothermal International Ltd. (AGIL), to expedite the development of geothermal fields in the African nation. Exploration of two geothermal fields in Kenya, developed by PGE along with its partners, is expected to commence in 2024. In high-level discussions held at GDC's headquarters in Nairobi on Wednesday (3/6/2024), PGE and GDC discussed the support from the Kenyan government in accelerating the geothermal field development project in Suswa, a volcanic area located in Narok, Kenya. GDC is a government-owned geothermal developer in Kenya. The PGE delegation, led by President Director Julfi Hadi and accompanied by PGE's Director of Exploration and Develop

Polands Geothermal Wells hits 5km depth Eyeing a 7Km Threshold

Geothermal Milestone Reached: Banska PGP-4 Well in Szaflary, Poland Hits 5-Kilometer Depth By : Robert Buluma In a significant development for geothermal energy enthusiasts, drilling operations at the Banska PGP-4 well in Szaflary, Poland have reached a depth of 5 kilometers, marking a major milestone in the project's progress towards its 7-kilometer target. Since its inception, the ambitious geothermal drilling project in Szaflary has been making steady strides. As of the end of 2023, the well has successfully reached a depth of 5000 meters, uncovering promising results along the way. Notably, the well has tapped into a sizable reservoir boasting temperatures of 120 °C. The drilling will persist until it reaches the targeted depth of 7000 meters, where another aquifer is anticipated. The entire drilling endeavor is slated for completion within the first quarter of 2024. Initiated in 2019, the plans to drill a 7-kilometer geothermal well in Podhale, Szaflary aimed at gathering cruc

Eavor Goes Deeper in Geretesried In Search For Geothermal

Revolutionizing Energy Production: The Birth of Eavor Technology in Geretesried By: Robert Buluma In the picturesque town of Geretesried, nestled in the heart of Germany, a groundbreaking project is underway that promises to reshape the future of energy production as we know it.

"Neuruppin's Geothermal Energy Project: Daldrup & Söhne Set to Drill for Sustainable District Heating"

The drilling for the project in Neuruppin will be carried out by Daldrup & Söhne, a specialist in drilling technology and geothermal solutions based in Unterhaching. According to Daldrup & Söhne, the project's volume is approximately five million euros. The companies anticipate a temperature of around 70°C at the depth of the drilling. To feed this energy into the district heating network, high-temperature heat pumps will elevate it to the desired level. The aim is for the municipal utilities to generate a heat quantity of 76 GWh per year, equivalent to supplying approximately 3,000 average four-person households. The geothermal drilling in Neuruppin is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2024, as reported by Daldrup & Söhne. The Neuruppin municipal utilities were the first to receive approval for the investment grant from the Federal Funding for Efficient Heating Networks. Neuruppin is one of the few cities in the northern half of the country that has been u
