To estimate the operating performances of the geothermal heat exchange pipe(GHEX), GHEXs of 400RT geothermal system were measured and analyzed through a year. The followings are the results. The temperature of 2 GHEXs installed 4m apart was fluctuated very similarly. When the geothermal system is nor operating or is operating as heating mode, the temperature of G.L.-170m was always higher than G.L.-70m's. But it reversed when the geothermal system is operating as cooling mode. And through a year, it has been observed that the temperature of G.L.-170m is increased approximately $1.5^{\circ}C$. With previously mentioned results, the heat transfer capacity of G.L.-70m's geological stratum is estimated as higher than that of the G.L.-170m.
