Resource Characterization & Modeling

This area focuses on identifying, assessing, and modeling geothermal resources to understand their size, temperature, and viability. It supports better decision-making by improving predictions of subsurface conditions and resource potential.

  • Crustal Stress, Geomechanics/Rock Mechanics Planned
Testing for rock mechanical properties at high-temperature
Max Temperature (°C) 300
Max Pressure (MPa) 300
Ability to Adjust T & P Simultaneously Yes

Drilling & Well Design

This area covers technologies and expertise needed to safely and efficiently access geothermal resources at depth. It includes innovations in drilling methods, materials, and well design and construction to reduce costs and effectively reach higher-enthalpy systems in more geologic regions.

  • Well Completion (Cements, Liners, Flow Control) Active
