The Ethiopian Electric Power company is inviting qualified bidders to express interest for the procurement of full drilling services at the Dubti Field, for the Tendaho Geothermal Power Project.
The Tendaho Geothermal Power Project intends to develop the resources in the project area in two phases. The main objectives of the Tendaho Phase I Project are:
- The successful completion of the first round of shallow production well drilling and finalization of the relevant feasibility studies, which will define and develop the shallow reservoir allowing near-term exploitation of the shallow resource at the maximum sustainable capacity (presently estimated to be approximately 10 to 12MW).
- Drilling of two deep (up to 2,500 m) wells to investigate the deep reservoir, which would ultimately increase the field capacity to an estimated 100MW or more.
The drilling services required for Tendaho Phase I include the drilling of six high temperature, shallow wells (up to approximately 600m depth) aimed at reaching the desired initial energy output and the drilling of two deep (up to approximately 2,500m) exploration wells to investigate the deep reservoir for future expansion.
The PMU therefore plans to pre-qualify Full Services Drilling Companies (FSDCs) to undertake the Phase I drilling operations and well testing in the Dubti field at the Tendaho geothermal project area.
Capacity building and knowledge transfer for both EEP and GSE is an important component of the project and is part of the reason for the phased implementation structure described above.
