A pilot project designed to extract geothermal energy from abandoned oil and gas wells in Lendava is to start next month, as company HSE Invest, representing partners in the project, filed for a construction permit for the 50 kW geothermal plant.
The project of a subsidiary of the state-owned power utility HSE, energy group Petrol and chemical company Nafta, is seen as a potential use case for abandoned wells around the world. It is expected to be built by May 2023.
