Rain has prevented the deployment of fracture stimulation equipment, putting the project back by approximately one month.

The aim of the fracture stimulation process is to create a fracture network and connect it to existing natural fracture networks, as well as assisting in determining the location of wells.

Paralana is Petratherm's flagship geothermal project. Beach Petroleum and TRUenergy Geothermal are joint venture partners in the project, which was granted $62.8 million in 2009 as part of the Federal Governments Renewable Energy Demonstration Program.
