- DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. begins EPC plans for a geothermal facility in Saskatchewan.
- The project includes a 5 MW power purchase agreement with SaskPower.
DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. has begun engineering and procurement activities for a planned 25 MW geothermal facility in Saskatchewan. Field construction is intended for the third quarter.
The firm claimed that the reservoir characteristics could support the construction of multiple geothermal expansion facilities in southeast Saskatchewan over several years. The project includes a 5 MW power purchase agreement with SaskPower.
The facility is planned to be built in two phases: 5 MW and an additional 20 MW at the same location. Production and injection wells are planned to be drilled to a depth of around 3.5 kilometres and horizontally for an additional 3 kilometres.
According to the company, a subsurface geological reservoir model predicts that the well spacing for the first 25 MW field development will use around 10% of its entire subsurface lease that covers some 97,775 acres. The subsurface lease is expected to support the build-out of multiple power facilities greater than 200 MW.
The geothermal resource is designed to generate power using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology. Licensing and permitting for all well and surface facilities are slated to start during the first quarter.
