    The plan was to reach a maximum depth of 5 km (3.11 mi) before the end of 2016, making it by far the deepest borehole in Iceland. [12] Scientists were hoping to reach a temperature of 500 °C (930 °F), [ 13 ] [ 14 ] which would be the hottest blast of any hole in the world, breaking the former record of the IDDP-1 Krafla borehole.

    The Sonoma Calpine 3 power plant is one of 22 power plants at The Geysers in the United States. This is a list of operational geothermal power stations with a current installed capacity of at least 10 MW. The Geysers in California, United States is the largest geothermal power station in the world with a nameplate capacity of 1,590 MW and an annual generation of 6,516 GWh in 2018. Geothermal ...

    The highest concentrations are located in the Mayacamas Mountains and Imperial Valley of California, as well as in Western Nevada. The first geothermal area to be exploited for commercial electricity generation was The Geysers , a complex of 22 geothermal power stations located in Sonoma and Lake counties of California , which was commissioned ...

    NGDS was initially funded by the United States Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Program (awards DE-EE0001120 and DE-EE002850), as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The National Geothermal Data System makes use of the large collection of hard copy documents stored in state geological survey archives.

    In total, electrical station construction and well drilling costs about 2–5 million € per MW of electrical capacity, while the levelised energy cost is 0.04–0.10 € per kW·h. [10] Enhanced geothermal systems tend to be on the high side of these ranges, with capital costs above $4 million per MW and levelized costs above $0.054 per kW·h ...

    NM4 was the first well in New Zealand to encounter a pluton, at a depth of almost 2400m. Mighty River Power undertook further drilling in 2008-09, with wells NM5, NM6, and NM7 drilled to depths of 2997m, 3398m, 2963m respectively. [5] Resource consents for further development were granted in May 2010. [6]

  9. Depth in a well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_in_a_well

    Well depth values from the wireline loggers operation are referred to as "logger's depth". The loggers depth are typically considered more reliable than the drillers depth. The differences between loggers and drillers depths are due to different stretch in the drilling string when drilling, and the wire line entered into the bore hole during ...
