NREI selects Schlumberger Integrated Drilling Services to contruct the Nevis Geothermal project in Nevis Island in St. Kitts and Nevis

Nevis Renewable Energy International (NREI), subsidiary of Thermal Energy Partners, LLC, a geothermal energy development firm based in Austin, Texas, announced that it has selected Schlumberger Integrated Drilling Services to install the geothermal production and injection wells for the Nevis Geothermal Project.

 

The Nevis Geothermal Project is unique for the Eastern Caribbean, as Nevis contains a geothermal reservoir with a long-term generating capacity sufficient to meet all the present and future needs of Nevis. NREI is to be a partner with the Nevis Island Administration in developing this initial 10 MW phase of the project to serve the needs of the Nevis residents. When completed, the geothermal plant will enable the island to transition away from the use of fossil fuels and be 100 percent reliant on zero-emission renewable energy power generation.

 

Schlumberger will be working with GeothermEx, a Schlumberger subsidiary and geothermal science and engineering firm for the well design, installation, and testing of the Nevis wells. Schlumberger will support the Nevis Project from their main base and facilities in Trinidad and their southern hemisphere headquarters in Mexico City.
