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.

  • Exploration, Appraisal, Site Selection Active
  • Geological Modeling Active
  • Reservoir Modeling Planned
  • Crustal Stress, Geomechanics/Rock Mechanics Active
  • Water/Rock Geochemistry Active
  • Water Resource Management Active
  • Environmental Risk Assessment Active
AI based models: machine learning, reinforcement learning and fuzzy logic for decision making in geothermal systems
Max Temperature (°C) 250
Ability to Adjust T & P Simultaneously No
Geochemical modelling and AI-assisted analysis of geothermal fluids using PHREEQC and data-driven modelling tools
Temperature Note This is primarily a numerical modelling capability and therefore does not have a fixed experimental temperature limit. Temperature-dependent geothermal fluid chemistry, mineral saturation, scaling potential and water–rock interaction can be evaluated over user-defined temperature ranges, subject to the validity range of the selected thermodynamic database and modelling assumptions.
Pressure Note This capability is based on numerical simulation rather than a physical high-pressure laboratory system and therefore has no fixed equipment pressure limit. Pressure effects can be incorporated into geothermal geochemical scenarios where supported by the modelling framework and thermodynamic data.
Ability to Adjust T & P Simultaneously No

Monitoring & Instrumentation

This area enables real-time measurement and analysis of geothermal systems through advanced sensors and data tools. It supports performance optimization, risk reduction, and improved understanding of subsurface behavior over time.

  • Downhole Sensors Active
  • High-Temperature Electronics for Sensors & Data Systems Active
  • Environmental Monitoring Active
