Drilling finished at Litoměřice
The PUSH-IT team has successfully completed a major milestone in the development of its geothermal research site in Litoměřice, with the drilling and preparation of two key monitoring wells. This marks a crucial step toward better understanding the site’s subsurface and preparing for future Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES) systems.

Cleaning and casing of the hydrogeological borehole
As part of the Push-It project, a new hydrogeological borehole at Litoměřice has been established to monitor groundwater flow and quality. Located at a future site for underground heat storage, the borehole will play a key role in observing groundwater velocity, flow direction, and chemical composition at depths ranging from 100 to 400 meters.

Drill core scanning and geothermic measurements
A cored borehole is currently being drilled on the RINGEN research center site, which will provide rock samples from depths ranging from the surface to 550m. Their analysis and geophysical measurements directly in the borehole will provide valuable information for planning underground heat storage in boreholes of various depths.

Research borehole for ATES successfully completed in Berlin Adlershof
Our team from the German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ, led by Stefan Kranz and Katrin Kieling, drilled a 410 m deep research well to investigate whether the Hettang sandstones at the Berlin Adlershof site are suitable for an ATES system that should be implemented in the existing district heating network.

The first results are in from pilot and monitoring borehole drilling in Delft!
At the demonstration location on the TU Delft Campus, a pilot and monitoring borehole was successfully drilled by Haitjema . A depth of 220 meters was reached to check the suitability of the subsurface for high temperature heat storage.

Crucial workover completed at Berlin’s ATES site
Between April 15th and 17th 2024, new developments took place at the ATES site in Berlin Adlershof. Our team tackled some operational challenges within the research well and performed a workover. This intervention was necessary due to a previous issue related to a faulty cementing process during the installation of the well in 2022.
