Episode: ECOGI geothermal project at Rittershoffen - development phase

The ECOGI powerplant ( https://geothermie.es.fr/en/references/projet-ecogi ) is a geothermal powerplant designed by ÉS-Géothermie and located at Rittershoffen in northern Alsace, 7 km southeast of Soultz-sous-Forêts.

The geothermal plant of Rittershoffen is operating since mid-2016 and produces 24 MWth of thermal power, with a production temperature of 170 °C.

The geothermal heat production is directly used by a biorefinery located at Benheim.

Two wells ensure the production and reinjection of the geothermal fluid.

The development of the deep geothermal field took place between 2012 and 2014.

Several earthquakes occurred between 2012 and 2014 during the drilling of the two wells GRT-1 ( https://cdgp.u-strasbg.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/RIT-GRT 1) and GRT-2 ( https://cdgp.u-strasbg.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/RIT-GRT 2) and some of the hydraulic tests realized on site.

The induced seismicity was recorded by a permanent and a temporary seismic network.
