Summary
Description60m artificial fumarole at el tatio geothermal field.jpg |
English: In 2008, the “Geortérmica del Norte” consortium - formed by Chilean state owned ENAP and Codelco mining companies in association with Italian Enel Green Power - began exploration in the "quebrada El Zoquete", near the El Tatio geothermal field in Chile's II Region, with the purpose of constructing a 40 MW geothermal plant. After months of exploration, an operating malfunction occurred in well No. 10 in September 2009, causing the eruption of a 60-m-high artificial fumarole which took away virtually all the pressure in the El Tatio complex. Although the company finally managed to close the well, damage was not limited to the visual. Ignorance of both guides and visitors - who were literally running all over the vents - caused extensive damage to the fragile mineral deposits, and the harm make take years, if not decades, to get undone. In fact, an earlier exploration attempt in the late sixties turned into disaster – even if only economically. |
