| Abstract | Russell Shaw, Chief Executive of Top Energy Group will present a paper detailing the development of the geothermal field at Ngawha from the early Ministry of Works developments through to the present day. The paper will particularly focus on the most recent developments with the commissioning of the 15MW OEC3 in 2008 and the planned commissioning of the 32MW OEC4 in November 2020. Recent field modelling techniques will be reviewed as will well testing results. There will also be a discussion on the Non Condensable Gasses (including CO2) which occur in the field and how these have changed over the past 20 years of geothermal generation. |
