Todd Energy 被新西兰商业、创新和就业部 (MBIE) 选为新西兰第一口勘探性超高温地热井的首选总承包商。

这口井的钻探是政府支持的一个项目的一部分，旨在评估超高温地热资源的潜力。该项目计划钻探至约5-6公里的深度，大约是新西兰典型地热井深度的两倍。

Todd Energy将负责管理钻井作业，包括安全监督、分包商管理和项目执行。该井计划位于陶普附近的Rotokawa地热田，研究人员认为该地区具有蕴藏超高温地热流体的巨大潜力。

预计钻探工作将于 2027 年年中左右开始，这将是计划中的三口井勘探计划中的第一口井，旨在评估新西兰超高温地热能的可行性。

Todd Energy was selected by the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) as the preferred lead contractor to drill New Zealand’s first exploratory superhot geothermal well.

The well will be drilled as part of a government-backed project aimed at evaluating the potential of superhot geothermal resources. The project plans to drill to depths of about 5–6 km, roughly twice as deep as typical geothermal wells in New Zealand.

Todd Energy will be responsible for managing drilling operations, including oversight of safety, subcontractors and project execution. The well is planned for the Rotokawa geothermal field near Taupō, an area identified by researchers as having strong potential for superhot geothermal fluids.

Drilling is expected to begin around mid-2027 and will be the first of a planned three-well exploration program designed to assess the viability of superhot geothermal energy in New Zealand.
