Wells for Heat Exchanger Advanced Technology (WeHEAT) is a completely closed system technology that allows for direct heat consumption by “mining” geothermal heat for users in the vicinity of a well. Its greatest advantage is that it generates geothermal energy WITHOUT extraction of underground water. The first such system was implemented in 2021 to produce geothermal heat from an abandoned oil well at Kiskunhalas, Hungary.
