Naknek Electric Association is drilling a 9,000 to 12,000 foot exploration well near King Salmon in hopes of harnessing power to supply 28 villages in Southwest Alaska. Lynden Air Cargo, [Lynden Logistics](http://www.lynden.com/logistics/index.html) and [Lynden Transport](http://www.lynden.com/ltia/) provided shipping and project logistics, often on short notice, to meet deadlines for assembling the drill rig and prepping it for drilling. ![Geothermal well project](https://info.lynden.com/hs-fs/file-26188555-jpg/images/geothermal-well-project.jpg) Lynden Logistics handled the oversized shipping of a 15-foot, 4,000-pound replacement shaft for the drill rig from Houston to Anchorage. Lynden Transport took over in Anchorage, picking up the shaft and delivering it to a fabrication shop. Other overnight shipments for the project included two 2,600-pound motors for the drill rig picked up in Houston on a Saturday to have it in the customer's hands on a Monday morning. If the wells are successful, the clean energy produced would replace 3.5 million gallons of diesel fuel now used to generate electricity in Naknek. This is a groundbreaking effort for Alaska and Lynden employees were proud to help get the project off the ground.   *From the Lynden Archives: This story was originally written in November 2009.* Topics from this blog: [Lynden Air Cargo](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/lynden-air-cargo) [Lynden Transport](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/lynden-transport) [Alaska](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/alaska) [Lynden Logistics](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/lynden-logistics) [Energy](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/energy) [Oversized/Heavy Haul](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/oversized-heavy-haul) [Project Logistics](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/project-logistics) [Air](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/air) [Ground](https://info.lynden.com/blog/topic/ground) ## Lynden is hiring!
