Is there more water than Gas down there?

The Conference also tells us:

5.Future development

"The Hungarian economy is starting to develop after some years of stagnation. There is no question that geothermal energy will continue to be an important resource base of this process. Environmental advantages of geothermal energy seem to be especially important, because CO 2 emmissions in Hungary must be decreased by 4 Million metric tons per year (Kyoto Protocol)

Three important projects have been started.

Feasibility studies are in the making to determine the conditions of electric power generation in the Southeast of Hungary, at the Békés basin. This is the site where high enthalpy geopressurized water has been found in Fábiánsebestyén and Nagyszénás. There seem to be serious technical problems due to the high pressure (360 bars at the wellhead) and the strongly saline water.

Two small-scale electric power generation plants are being planned using the organic Rankine cycle with 100 Degree C water in the Southern and Southwestern parts of the country.These projects aim at a complex utilization: the small modular prefabricated power plant may be the attractive element of the system.Direct heat untilization for district heating and greenhouses can make the projects economically viable."

(EXXON,moving on to the "Bekes" Basin in the meantime,if my memory serves me well,will certainly take account of these altered circumstances,getting used to the Pannonian Basin Water more and more,spending another 150 Million during the next two years in the appraisal phase to handle the problem....)

Should be easily comrehensible.
