The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) Drilling<\/a> and Infrastructure team has begun drilling<\/a> the first appraisal well, Paka Well 4 (PW-04), at the Paka Field in the Baringo-Silali Geothermal Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appraisal drilling<\/a> process marks the boundary of a geothermal resource<\/a> area, which has been confirmed during exploration drilling<\/a> before the development of production wells can begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Principal Officer, Drilling<\/a>, and Infrastructure, Eng. Stephen Kangogo expressed confidence in the drilling<\/a> team’s progress at the Baringo-Silali prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The team is excited to begin drilling<\/a> the fourth well in Paka after confirmation of the existence of viable geothermal resource<\/a> in this field,” enthused Eng. Stephen Kangogo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drilling<\/a> of PW-04 comes in the backdrop of confirmation of geothermal resources<\/a> in the area after all the three (3) exploration wells drilled yielded positive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the field crew in Korosi is drilling<\/a> Korosi Well Three (KW-03), the last of the three planned exploration wells in the area. The team is optimistic that the field will also offer productive results, paving the way for appraisal drilling<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
