The Hawaii Geothermal Project (IiGP-A) well, located in the Kilauea volcano east rift zone, was drilled to a depth of 6450 feet in 1976. It is considered to be one of the hottest producing geothermal wells in the world. This single well provides 52,800 pounds per hour of 37lOF and 160 pounds per square inch-absolute (pia) steam to a 3- megawatt power plant, while the separated brine is discharged in percolating ponds. About 50,000 pounds per hour of 368OF and 155 psia brine is discharged. Geothermal energy developnent has increased steadily in Hawaii since the completion of HGP-A in 1976.
