ONGC plans June drilling for India's first geothermal project in Ladakh

ONGC is gearing up for a fresh geothermal drilling campaign in Ladakh, aiming to tap into emission-free energy sources. The project could provide electricity, heating, and irrigation in Ladakh's harsh terrains. Planned drilling in June aims to complete two 1,000-meter wells by September. If successful, a 1 MW power plant could be operational by next year. Iceland, a geothermal energy leader, is advising ONGC. Overcoming past setbacks, including water control and logistics, is key, with advanced equipment and careful planning in place. Read The Rest at :
