Drilling and testing of the second well for a planned geothermal heating project in Sochaczew, Poland has been completed. Further testing will still be done on the wells before the project proceeds to the construction of the transmission networks and the heating plant.
In late 2023, the city of Sochaczew received PLN 62 million (USD 15.63 million) in funding from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW) for the drilling of a second well and the construction of a heating plant. The funding is split between a PLN 33.4 million non-refundable subsidy and a PLN 28.6 million low-interest loan.
The second well geothermal well, GT-2, was drilled by Exalo Drilling since August 2024 to a depth of 1620 meters. Testing of the well indicated an outlet temperature of 44.5 °C, a flowrate of 184 m3/hour, and good injectivity.
The first research well, GT-1, in Sochaczew was drilled at Okrezna Street thru a PLN 10 million subsidy. Since this well was drilled back in 2018, the Przedsisbiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej Sochaczew (PEC Sochaczew / Thermal Energy Company) would like to test its flowrate and injectivity again to make sure that it has retained its original parameters.
The goal is for both wells to be used interchangeably as either production or reinjection wells. This will allow for the servicing of one well without losing productivity for the system.
The next phase of the project is to connect all municipal boiler rooms to allow for geothermal heat to be supplied to the whole city center and all major housing estates.
