Polaris Infrastructure signs drilling contract with Iceland Drilling for the drilling of two wells and work-over on four existing wells at the San Jacinto-Tizate geothermal plant in Nicaragua.
Announced in a release yesterday, Polaris Infrastructure Inc. (TSX: PIF) reports that its wholly owned subsidiary, Polaris Energy Nicaragua S.A. (“PENSA”), has entered into a rig services agreement with an entity controlled by Iceland Drilling Company.
“The Rig Services Agreement relates to the drilling of no less than two new production wells and the work-over of four existing injection wells, with the option for a third new production well at the San Jacinto-Tizate Power Plant, owned and operated by PENSA. The Company anticipates a spud date on its first production well in early October 2015, and looks forward to working with Iceland Drilling towards a successful well drilling and work-over program.
