Geodynamics has achieved higher flow rates and flowing pressure with the second open flow test at its Habanero-4 geothermal well in the Cooper Basin, Australia.

As reported from Australia, developer Geodynamics “has achieved higher flow rates and flowing pressure with the second open flow test at its Habanero-4 geothermal well  in the Cooper Basin.

The test achieved an average production rate of 38 kilograms per second (kg/s) at a flowing pressure of over 4,200 psi after local stimulation was completed.

The local stimulation saw 1,900 cubic metres of water pumped into the well over a two day period.

Major stimulation has now commenced to extend and enhance the known fracture zone. This is expected to be completed in early December.”
