What does drilling a Hole for Water cost here in Europe?

<< < (3/12) > >>

Mazo:
Just a reference number,a buddy of mine had a hole drilled in afaik not that bad soil for drilling.30m hole=1500EUR,so 50EUR per m.In Bulgaria.Not a drop of water unfortunately.

Compared to other sources geothermal is still a tiny tiny speck of US production around 1% of electricity or 0.3% total:

which is behind the world average of 1.5% of electricity and 0.5% total:

So yeah, "we" produce a pitiful amount of geothermal energy, and its source/supply is extremely limited compared to alternatives:

mW per square meter!

Unfortunately that article got the numbers all messed up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy says that between 2MW and 10MW can be produced per well.

Lord of nothing:
 :-+ I would use a Heat exchanger or so.
Sure I would depend what the Mixture is and if the Water is consumable "fresh" out of the Hole.
I dont know if any Values are over the Limit like Sulfure, Lead,... or what ever could come out from the Core of the Earth.

Miyuki:
There is an issue with deep drilling. You can cause loss of water in other wells, even kilometers away. By accidentally puncturing some deep layers.
And then you are liable for the losses. You do not want to be in this situation.

btw for water, I use an old dug well, it is really old and has water at about 10m level. It must be a hell of a work to dig it back in the day without power tools.

Lord of nothing:
I guess there are no other commercial used Wells in my Area.
