Geothermal Well Blowout & Control Emergency Services

In 1995, GPC was awarded by geothermal district heating operators an ad-hoc emergency/rescue contractaimed at controling well blowouts and avoiding subsequent damage, owing to a sensitive, densely populated, urban environment, a hot fluid (65 to 80°C) and the presence of flamable (methane) and toxic (hydrogene sulphide) solution gases. This preventing policy proved effective with five sucessful operations recorded to date.
