The reins of a geothermal lithium project in Cornwall have been handed over one of the largest American fracking companies. Cornish Lithium has awarded the contract for its Cross Lanes Geothermal Lithium Project to Halliburton. Halliburton is an American multinational corporation and the world's second-largest oil service company and is responsible for most of the world's fracking operations. This project aims to confirm the site's potential for the commercial production of lithium. Work will begin at the Chacewater site near Truro, with the drilling of two wells to establish the lithium resource potential of geothermal waters - also known as brine - that circulate deep underground. Under the deal, Halliburton, which has dual headquarters in Houston, Texas and Dubai, will provide an "integrated execution approach, encompassing subsurface modelling and well engineering, together with equipment and services for the drilling and testing of two appraisal wells". Cornish Lithium said the work will help to estimate the amount of lithium contained within the geothermal system of the Cornubian Batholith - the large body of granite formed around 280 million years ago that lies beneath much of Cornwall and Devon. These commercial-scale wells will allow Cornish Lithium to carry out extended testing during a defined timescale to validate sustainable production conditions, assess water...
