In a press release, Daniel Kunz, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the news:

“NHS-2 has the highest artesian flow rate of any well drilled at Neal Hot Springs. Like NHS-8, this is a great well. I am pleased that all four of these production wells came in under budget and we are able to reduce the total cost of the project by drilling smaller diameter injection wells.”
