United Downs geothermal well
I was very disappointed that my holiday came after the drilling rig had been dismantled and taken away to its next assignment. However, the well heads (injection and production) can be seen on the pad. A geothermal power station is envisaged, using water circulated through the Porthtowan Fracture Zone at more than 5km depth. The bottom hole temperature should be 190 degrees C. Unlike previous geothermal prospecting in Cornwall, this well is in slate and not granite, but the whole area has an unusually high thermal conductivity.
