On Nov. 17, CPK signed a contract with the Polish Academy of Sciences to develop full documentation for a 1,600‑meter geothermal exploratory well at its planned airport in Nowy Oryszew.
Contract Details
The Central Communication Port (CPK) entered into an agreement with the Institute of Resource Management, Mineral Resources and Energy of the Polish Academy of Sciences to prepare comprehensive documentation required for conducting a geothermal exploratory well at the new airport location in Nowy Oryszew.
Objective of the Well
The well, planned at a depth of approximately 1,600 m, will test whether the local thermal waters can supply heating and cooling for the Port Solidarność’s planned heating‑cooling system.
Scope of Documentation
The deliverables include a layout concept for a future geothermal power plant, a geological works proposal with cost estimate, and options to extend the study to additional wells if results are promising.
Energy and Environmental Strategy
CPK’s broader plan emphasizes low‑emission, modern energy solutions. Geothermal is intended to become the main heat source for a fifth‑generation low‑temperature heating‑cooling network that will power airport buildings and support infrastructure.
Timeline and Next Steps
Currently the project is limited to concept and geological work. Physical drilling will commence only after completion of documentation and receipt of required administrative approvals.
Regional Geothermal Experience
Similar wells—at depths of around 1,600 m in Mszczonów and Sochaczew and a 2,700‑m well in Żyrardów—have already been drilled nearby, showing that the area possesses usable thermal resources for energy, recreation, and medicine.
