Contract signed for geothermal drilling in Moszczenica, Poland
UOS Drilling will provide drilling services for a geothermal exploration well in Moszczenica, Poland to explore for potential resources for district heating.
The contract for the drilling of a geothermal exploration well in the commune of Moszczenica, Poland has been signed, with UOS Drilling to provide the service. If successful, the project will provide geothermal heat to the heating network currently being built in the commune which will supply public buildings and, in the future, private properties.
The drilling contract was signed by Mayor Dariusz Magacz and Treasurer Anna Bijoch. Drilling is planned to a target depth of 2660 meters, where temperatures of up to 70 °C are expected. This is expected to last 3 to 6 months. The works will be supervised by contract engineer Bogdan Noga, representing Multi Consult. Surveying and construction work will start soon as part of the agreement. About 30 people will work on the drilling site.
UOS DRILLING representative Arkadiusz Biedulski assures that the company’s many years of experience will allow for the work to be carried out efficiently and the noise that the machines may cause will not disturb the lives of residents.
The drilling of an exploration well to evaluate geothermal resources will be funded by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW). Moszczenica was one of the communes selected for the funding program in a round announced in late 2024.
