Pagosa hot springs are the world's deepest geothermal hot spring. [13] [14] In 2020 the depth was measured by a collaborative team from the Center for Mineral Resources Science (CMRS) and the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey. The measuring device went to a depth of 1002 feet, but the "tape measure" had reached its full ...

The Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is a geothermal project established in 2000 by a consortium of the National Energy Authority of Iceland (Orkustofnun/OS) and four of Iceland's leading energy companies: Hitaveita Suðurnesja (HS), Landsvirkjun, Orkuveita Reykjavíkur and Mannvit Engineering. The consortium is referred to as "Deep Vision".
Simply put, geothermal energy is heat contained deep within Earth. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, that heat is a result of radioactive particles like uranium, thorium ...
Upper estimates of geothermal resources assume wells as deep as 10 km (6.2 mi). Drilling near this depth is now possible in the petroleum industry, although it is an expensive process. The deepest research well in the world, the Kola Superdeep Borehole (KSDB-3), is 12.261 km (7.619 mi) deep. [21]
The world's first known building to utilize geothermal energy as its primary heat source was the Hot Lake Hotel in Union County, Oregon, beginning in 1907. [8] A geothermal well was used to heat greenhouses in Boise in 1926, and geysers were used to heat greenhouses in Iceland and Tuscany at about the same time. [9]
All the deep boreholes are now available to hire for a range of down hole testing. There are three deep boreholes (2,350 m (7,710 ft), 2,180 m (7,150 ft), 2,800 m (9,200 ft)), four uncased 300 m (980 ft) holes and one 150 m (490 ft) hole inclined at 30 degrees, as well as micro seismic testing and a wind turbine test environment on this 20 ...
