en.Wedoany.com Reported - Drilling of the Banska PGP-7 geothermal production well in the village of Banska Nizna, Podhale region, Poland, is nearing its end. The well's current measured depth is 3,915 meters, with a true vertical depth of 3,595 meters, and a target depth of 4,000 meters.

Podhalanska Geotermia stated that an analysis is underway to determine whether to conclude drilling at the current depth. Performance tests are scheduled for the period between April and May 2026. The company confirmed that the initial assumption of a reservoir temperature of 90°C remains valid.

The Banska PGP-7 geothermal well is part of Poland's Geothermal Plus program, aimed at increasing the utilization of geothermal resources for heating. The project has received 52 million Polish zloty (approximately $14.3 million) in funding from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. The entire project, including the construction of heat exchangers, cooling towers, and a heating network, has a total cost of about 88 million Polish zloty.

The well is planned to be connected to the district heating system in the fourth quarter of 2026 and may also supply water to the Zakopane thermal baths. These plans depend on the results of the performance tests. The Banska area also has the Banska PGP-4 well, which was drilled to a depth of 6,103 meters in 2025, and the PGP-8 injection well is planned to be drilled to a depth of 5,000 meters.
