Reporting from the the unloading of drilling equipment in Montserrat, Caribbean news network MNI published an interview and pictures.
On the site it also provides a video from the unloading of the drilling rid.
With the third well, the island hopes to realize a geothermal power project that has been a long time in the making. Currently there are two wells with a capacity potential of around 1.5 MW each, but requires an additional well which extends the capabilities of the project, and possibly a reinjection well. The island today has a capacity demand of 2.2 MW.
The site for the drilling operations for the third well has now been prepared and can receive the drilling rig.
Here a rig-up video by the company doing the drilling, Iceland Drilling:
Drilling is expected to be finished by November 2016, from which point the project can – if successful – pursue the development of the actual power plant.
Here below an interview with the project manager and government representatives from Montserrat.
