Among the most extraordinary international projects associated with Maurizio Armanetti’s work was the discovery of the first underground hot thermal water with ocean views on the Caribbean island of Antigua.
The project involved a private luxury seaside property located directly on the oceanfront.
According to conventional geological expectations, the area was considered extremely unfavorable for the presence of underground hot thermal water. Scientific assumptions indicated that drilling near the sea and close to the shoreline would most likely encounter only seawater infiltration.
Despite these expectations, Maurizio Armanetti identified a precise drilling point above a rocky coastal area situated approximately 50 meters above sea level, indicating the possible presence of
a deep underground thermal resource.
The drilling operation subsequently confirmed the presence of hot thermal water at a depth of approximately 250 meters below ground level. The discovery was considered highly unusual because the geological conditions had led many to believe that only seawater could exist in that location.
THE ANTIGUA THERMAL WATER ANALYSIS
The following laboratory analyses pertain to the underground thermal water discovered in Antigua during a deep drilling operation conducted on a private Caribbean oceanfront property.
The discovery was considered particularly significant because the geological conditions of the area had previously led to the assumption that only seawater would be present beneath the site.
Subsequent drilling operations confirmed the existence of underground hot thermal water, and the collected samples were subjected to chemical and mineral analyses in order to evaluate the characteristics, composition, and potential thermal and wellness value of the resource.
These analyses provide important technical information regarding the mineral content and overall properties of the discovered thermal water source.
