Second well test of Dambořice 9
The last drilling here was in the summer of 2023. While the frogs were croaking then, now, at the end of winter, there are plenty of hares and deer roaming the surrounding fields. And in the evenings, beavers are regularly seen cupitating in the adjacent Burnt Creek.
And why is it being drilled again in the same place? Simply because the original project did not turn out positively, but provided very promising information.
The Dambořice 9 prospect is analogous to the Borkovany deposit in the deeper part of the palaeogene fill of the Nesvačil trench. Prospective resources (expected reserve size) here are 330 million cubic meters of gas.

Poddvorov 27 – A reclamation project with a future
Perhaps no other MND site better illustrates the successful reclamation of land following the end of mining operations. The site of the former Poddvorov 27 borehole now serves as an example of how an area left behind by mining operations can be given a new purpose and actively utilised once more – in the form of a modern agrovoltaic concept.
Heat for Košice from deep underground is within reach
Three boreholes up to 3.6 kilometres deep, positive results and a satisfied client. MND Drilling and Services has successfully completed a geothermal drilling project for Košice, which will supply heat to around a fifth of the population of Slovakia’s second-largest city. The client was Geoterm Košice, in which the Slovak state holds a majority stake.
Hodonín, five years after the tornado
Five years after a devastating tornado, Hodonín has become a model of comprehensive regeneration of public spaces. Thanks to the collaboration between the town, the Karel Komárek Family Foundation and other partners, dozens of projects have been carried out here, with a total value of over three-quarters of a billion crowns. Karel Komárek, a native of Hodonín, and his wife Štěpánka, whose foundation played a key role in the regeneration, also viewed the results of the transformation during a two-day visit.
