MEET associated partner United Downs Deep Geothermal Power (UDDGP) project successfully finished drilling the deepest wells onshore Great Britain The two deep wells of the UDDGP project were finished this year in April (UD-1, 5057 m TVD) and June (UD-2, 2214 m TVD) both successfully intersecting the targeted Porthtowan Fault Zone. Preliminary results from investigation…
In parallel of in-situ test of colder reinjection with the test heat exchanger, a numerical model of this reinjection is mandatory to assess its effect on short and long terms powerplant operation. A possible impact would be a decrease of production temperature due to hydraulic connection already existing between the different wells. To achieve this…
In order to quickly boost deep geothermal energy production, MEET project is aiming at valorising low temperature resources in existing subsurface facilities. Regarding EGS power plants, MEET envisions to extract more energy by reinjecting the brine at lower temperature. In that framework MEET is working on Soultz-sous-Forêts power plant which is currently reinjecting at an…
