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.
