At the recent annual meeting of the Geothermal Resources Council, the best presentation of the “Exploration” session was successful geothermal exploration on the island of Nevis:
Chief Geologist for West Indies Power (WIP), Joe LaFleur, and his co-author, Dr. Skip Hoag, have been honoured by the Geothermal Resource Council (GRC) the largest and most respected geothermal association in the world.
They were presented with the Best Presentation Award, during the Exploration session of the GRC’s Annual Meeting in California, for a presentation on the WIP’s Geothermal project on Nevis.
Entitled “Geothermal Exploration Drilling on Nevis: A Caribbean Success Story”, the presentation described the work done and techniques used by WIP Nevis Ltd in the exploration and demonstration of the major geothermal resource on the island.
LaFleur said Nevis has the potential to make global history.
“The resource identified by the exploration drilling on Nevis appears to have adequate size to supply the power demand of both St Kitts and Nevis. If aggressively pursued, it has the resource capacity capable of making St. Kitts-Nevis the first totally geothermal country in the world,” he said.
WIP also has geothermal development projects in, Dominica, Saba and other Caribbean islands.
