Flow test of well 23-14 at Blue Mountain


Last week, Nevada Geothermal Power announced the results of the flow test for their production well, 23-14, on the Blue Mountain property. The well tested out at 10MW gross power and 7.5MW net power when pump assisted and it produced from depths of around 1,000m (~3,300 feet) at temperature of 190C (375F). Armed with this information, the development of the site should now rapidly progress enabling a plant to be operational in the foreseeable future. The last remaining hurdle is transmission, a new line will need to be constructed to deliver the power to the grid.
