Digital geothermal solutions insights

Understand geothermal reservoirs and evaluate the associated uncertainties to reduce risk and optimize cost from exploration to development.

Detailed subsurface analysis through static and dynamic models, including related uncertainties.

• Identify resources in new and existing geothermal fields
• Maintain and increase production
• Develop multi-disciplinary, integrated geothermal studies
• Optimize well count and placement

Gain a better understanding of your geothermal resource potential from discovery to development.

• Identify high vapor flow areas with advanced permeability sweet spot characterization
• Gain a better understanding of vapor production potential using detailed subsurface static and dynamic models
• Optimize well performance with enhanced well placement and wellbore stability workflows.

• Wellbore interpretation: rock thermal properties, fracture characterization
• Subsurface interpretation: static modeling including well and geological data
• Fracture model: discrete fracture model (DFN) with fracture distribution of the geothermal reservoir
• Static modeling: 3D geological model that includes structural and properties distribution and uncertainties
• Permeability sweet spot: 3D permeability representation according to geological/fluid behavior
• Dynamic modeling: thermal fluid model, well location and spacing
• Production forecast: fluid production forecast
• Wellbore stability: 1D mechanical earth model (1D MEM)
• Well placement: maximize production by navigating inside the geothermal reservoir

Dedicated cloud profile subscriptions are available in Digital Sustainability

Geothermal profiles contain a tailored selection of Petrel™ subsurface software and Techlog™ wellbore software licenses and plug-ins for subsurface geothermal workflows.

There are two profile options for access: base and plus:

• Geothermal Engineer Base Profile—enables users to perform geological interpretation, geophysical interpretation, and static subsurface modeling workflows. These workflows enable users to assess the size and potential of a geothermal resource and optimize well placement and well trajectory. This profile contains Petrel software only.
• Geothermal Engineer Plus Profile—incorporates everything in the base package, with additional functionalities from Techlog software on. Users can also perform fracture characterization, permeability sweet spot analysis, dynamic modeling, uncertainty analysis, and micro-seismic evaluation. These workflows enable users to forecast and optimize resource production.
