Geothermal production enhancement

Diagnose decline to target what matters

Understanding why production declines is the first step toward improving performance. Common issues in geothermal systems include:

• Scaling and formation plugging
• Wellbore restrictions
• Reservoir connectivity challenges
• Reinjection inefficiencies

SLB uses advanced geothermal modeling, flow assurance analysis, and performance surveillance to identify these root causes. By integrating subsurface, well, and surface system data, we provide a clear, actionable picture of what’s driving decline. This diagnostic foundation allows us to target the most effective interventions, improving injectivity, restoring production capacity, and minimizing unnecessary operations.

Digital insights to drive smarter action

SLB digital analysis and geothermal-specific modeling tools ensure smarter, more effective interventions. Our approach includes performance forecasting to predict outcomes, scenario modeling to evaluate intervention strategies, and impact quantification to measure results. This data-driven methodology provides operators with clarity and confidence, enabling targeted actions that deliver the greatest value.

Boost performance across the entire system

Production enhancement doesn’t stop at the well. The SLB approach optimizes performance across the entire geothermal system, delivering:

• Stabilized flow to improve plant utilization and turbine efficiency
• Optimized injection strategies to support reservoir longevity
• Reliable energy delivery for consistent operations

By addressing both production and reinjection challenges, we ensure your geothermal assets operate at their highest potential over their lifetime.
