Exploration drilling for geothermal resources in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Poland will soon commence with the signing of a contract with UOS Drilling.
The town of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki in Poland has signed a contract with local company UOS Drilling SA for the drilling of one geothermal exploration well. The project is expected to be completed by February 2027.
Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki is one of the territories in Poland that was announced as eligible for funding back in 2023 under the “Providing access to thermal waters in Poland” program of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW). The contract value of the works is PLN 15,517,523.79 (approx. USD 4.2 million), with a maximum subsidy of PLN 13,465,000.00 (approx. USD 3.7 million).
The exploration well, Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki GT-1, is planned to be drilled vertically to a depth of 2070 meters. If the well discharges at the parameters expected – at 50 °C at approximately 250 m3 per hour – then the thermal water will be used for heating. If the water volume is below expected levels, then a decision will made on how it can be exploited, or if the well will be closed. The use of thermal water for recreational or balneotherapy purposes is under consideration.
Poland’s funding program for geothermal heating has spurred simultaneous development work in several locations. Drilling operations are ongoing in Koluszki, while preparatory work is happening in Moszczenica, Serock, and Szczecin. The country currently has nine operational geothermal heating plants.
