The wellsite geology and wellsite drilling supervision experts of AGR will be providing their skills for the Aarhus geothermal project. AGR has in-depth experience from well and reservoir engineering studies for geothermal, and has supplied software solutions for managing geothermal drilling time and costs, supporting projects in Germany and Austria.
“Our team has a track record of managing drilling of more than 200 wells in the North Sea. The Aarhus project is a great example of valuable competence transfer from the oil and gas industry to renewable energy sources,” says Lene Thorstensen, Manager Operations and Wellsite Geology at AGR.

Drilling of third well ongoing
The geothermal project in Aarhus, Denmark by Innargi is being eyed to be the largest geothermal district heating system in the EU with a total capacity of 110 MW across 7 sites. Drilling for the project started in November 2023, having since completed drilling in two sites – the Port of Aarhus and Skejby. The drilling process has gone well, and both reservoir temperature and water production are within expectations.
A recent update by Innargi indicates that drilling of the third well in the appraisal phase of the geothermal project has started. The third well will be drilled in the same location in Skejby, where a geothermal heating plant with heat exchangers and heat pumps will be built in the future.
