The first three wells (01, 02A, 02B) were drilled from the same pad, and the next well might be drilled from that pad as well.

They want to drill full production wells later this year. Marcia said, “They are too small to be production wells.” The wells in this winter program may be used for monitoring or injection, but they will not be used for producing the hot brine, the resource necessary for geothermal power production. Border-03, 04 and 05 will be achieved with two drilling rigs in order to complete the program prior to Spring road bans.ĭEEP president and CEO Kirsten Marcia noted on Jan. Border-02B exceeded the record depth of Border-01 by an additional 102 metres true vertical depth, giving title to this new well as the deepest ever drilled in Saskatchewan, the company said. Border-02B was drilled from the same well bore as Border-02A as a whipstock that enabled the acquisition of additional data between Border-01 and Border-02A at a reduced cost compared to drilling a separate well from surface. Panther Rig 2 did the drilling.ĭEEP’s third well, Border-02B has been drilled to a depth of 3,898 metres measured hole depth, (3,632 metres true vertical depth from surface) on January 19, 2020. It was drilled to a depth of 3,834 metres measured hole depth, (3,490 metres true vertical depth from surface).
It was drilled from the same surface location as DEEP’s first well, Border-01, directionally to the southwest with a bottom hole located 1,500 metres from Border-01. The first of these new wells, Border-02A, was completed in December. Drilling contracts have been awarded to Weyburn-based Panther Drilling Corporation. DEEP intends to drill up to 5 stratigraphic wells by the end of March 31, 2020, to further define the field’s geothermal reservoir parameters. 20 that the 2019-2020 winter drilling and testing program is underway. One of those well broke their own record for the deepest well in Saskatchewan, at 3,632 metres true vertical depth.ĭEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. Torquay – Saskatchewan’s geothermal electricity power generation project is heavy into its winter drilling program, with two wells done and three more planned before breakup.
