Successful Wells at Tolhuaca

摘要

The successful completion of a geothermal exploratory drilling program on the northwestern flank of the Tolhuaca volcano in southern Chile was announced on August 27 by GeoGlobal Energy Chile SpA. (GGE Chile), a wholly-owned affiliate of GeoGlobal Energy LLC. A long-term flow test lasting more than 45 days at the Tolhuaca Project (also called the Curacautin Project) demonstrated the production and injection wells are able to support commercial power production, company officials said. GGE Chile has been exploring at Tolhuaca for over three years and continues project development at the site, including designing, permitting, and constructing power plants and transmission lines-with the goal of producing power as soon as 2015.
