Drilling has been on going at the Menengai geothermal field since early 2011, by Geothermal Development Company. Wells within the Menengai geothermal field are planned to be drilled within sixty (60) days from spud in to capping of the well before the rig is mobilized to the next site. Due to several challenges, it has not been possible to complete the wells within the planned time. This paper looks at some of the main challenges faced drilling at Menengai and gives recommendations that would help drill the wells timely, safely and cost effectively. |
