The drilling<\/a> of the first directional well in the Paka Prospect commenced on Monday, January 17, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The well, christened Paka Well 3 A (PW-03A), is the first well in the production drilling<\/a> phase within the Baringo-Silali Geothermal Project<\/a>. PW-03A is undergoing development on the same PW-03, which was drilled during the exploration phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commencement of drilling<\/a> comes after the successful rig move and eventual rig up from Korosi Well 3 (KW-03) to the current location (PW-03) by the Drilling<\/a> Planning and Logistics, Drilling<\/a> Operations and Drilling<\/a> Equipment and Maintenance teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The drilling<\/a> of PW-03A is a welcome development as it adds to our portfolio of wells currently at the drilling<\/a> stage in the Baringo Silali Geothermal Project<\/a>, which has been confirmed scientifically as viable for production drilling<\/a>,” said Eng. Stephen Kangogo Principal Officer, Drilling<\/a> Operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team at the Baringo-Silali Geothermal Project<\/a> has drilled 3 wells in Korosi and 5 wells in Paka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDC intends to develop 100 MW from three prospects Paka, Korosi and Silali for the first phase of the Baringo-Silali Geothermal Project<\/a>. The development of the Paka prospect is now at the production drilling<\/a> phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
