Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. ("NGP") (TSX VENTURE: NGP)(OTCBB: NGLPF) today announced that long term flow-test results from Well 25-14 indicate that the well is a very prolific producer. Flow testing of 25-14 was done under the supervision of GeothermEx, Inc. ("GeothermEx") an independent consultant based in Richmond California.
Excerpts from GeothermEx's report:
- Well 25-14 produced roughly 770,000 pounds per hour when fully open (equivalent to a volumetric flow rate of 1,750 gallons per minute) at a wellhead pressure of 120 pounds per square inch.
- The well produces primarily from a single zone at 2,280 feet (695 metres). The temperature of the zone is 374 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Comparison of static and flowing pressure survey in 25-14 indicates a total cumulative pressure drawdown of about 121 psi at 2,280 feet (695 metres) during the production period. This indicates very good productivity.
- The net power potential of 25-14 would be about 7.5 MW. This estimate accounts for parasitic load for the combination of the production pump in the well and the well's proportionate share of a binary plant and injection pumps.

Ormat Desert Peak Aims to be First U.S. Commercial Power Project Using EGS
Reno, Nevada, February 14, 2008 - Work has begun on the first application of an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) utilizing a production well at a commercial geothermal site. This project will demonstrate the viability of EGS and the technology's potential to generate clean, renewable baseload geothermal electricity in many areas throughout the country, Ormat Technologies, Inc.(NYSE: ORA) announced today.
Also Nevada Geothermal Power is proceeding with Ormat on the Blue Mountain Faulkner 1 Power Plant, see article on geotherma.info entitled Nevada Geo (NGLPF) and Ormat Tech (ORA) in $20 million deal for Blue Mountain geothermal project.
