Daldrup & Söhne AG receives drilling order for the exploration of an aquifer storage facility from Hamburger Energiewerke GmbH

 

• Storage of industrial excess heat underground
• Order value in the upper one-digit million euro range in the event of full call-off of all services offered

 

Oberhaching / Ascheberg, 26 September 2022 - Daldrup & Söhne AG (ISIN DE0007830572), drilling technology and geothermal specialist, has been awarded a contract by Hamburger Energiewerke GmbH for the construction of a drilling site including execution planning and drilling of a well to explore a reservoir horizon and optionally a second well. The order value is in the upper single-digit million range, assuming full call-off of all services offered. Drilling is scheduled to start in November 2022, and the drilling length is planned to be approximately 1,600 m each. The first well is to be completed this year.

 

Board spokesman Andereas Tönies says of the drilling order: "Aquifer storage facilities are an important building block in the development of a climate-friendly heat supply. They increase flexibility through seasonal storage of thermal energy in natural underground reservoirs. The Tiefstack project in Hamburg will be a reference project for the secure supply of heat to the population and industry."

 

Second optional well for production wells

The client wants to construct a so-called aquifer storage facility at the Tiefstack site in Hamburg. This is to serve as a seasonal storage facility for surplus, climate-neutral excess heat from regional industrial and waste processing plants. The stored heat will then be fed into the district heating network of Hamburger Energiewerke as needed. The planned aquifer storage facility will serve as a demonstration plant to evaluate the usability of Hamburg's subsoil for heat storage, the storage performance and the collection of initial operational experience in integrating a deep heat storage facility into the district heating network. The contracting parties have also agreed to drill a second well if the production rate of the first well is proven to be sufficient. This is then to be developed into a production well.

 

Lively demand for the development of geothermal energy

Overall, the interest of municipalities, public utilities and private investors in the development and use of regionally available geothermal energy is lively. Daldrup & Söhne AG expects further major drilling orders in the coming quarters.
