Summary:
The City of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada, is planning to drill deep geothermal wells to provide heating to a new, large aquatic facility. The subsurface targets for heating the aquatic facility in Regina are more than 2,000 m deep, comprising the hypersaline Winnipeg and Deadwood aquifers which are expected to produce 60°C water at a flow rate of 40 L/s. With Perth, Australia having more than a dozen of similar systems installed over the last 2 decades, we explore the differences and use of knowledge gained in Australia as well as overseas projects in the Netherlands and France to support Canada in developing their first large direct-use geothermal installation.
