Default Green Rock Energy told no oil payload no drilling

A geothermal drilling project in Western Australia's Mid West region has come to an early end- apparently because one of the partners decided that there was not enough hydrocarbons to make the drilling program worthwhile.
Aspiring geothermal developers Green Rock Energy has partnered with oil and gas exploration and production company AWE for the Mid West Geothermal Energy Project, which was announced in March, 2013.

The Mid West region, a booming mining province, has been cited as a potential hot spot for renewable technologies such as geothermal and solar.
