Better Stimulation = HERO CREATION
With MicroThermal Energy advanced monitoring techniques driving your subsurface optimization, your EGS power plant can achieve maximum output.
- As new drilling techniques allow deeper access to the subsurface, geothermal heat becomes more accessible, but with hotter temperatures, downhole monitoring tools can’t take the heat.
- EGS projects utilize hydraulic stimulation in igneous geologic formations. Energy projects that involve stimulation have typically been conducted in sedimentary structures. Sedimentary rocks can fracture differently than igneous rocks, so monitoring is vital.
- Listen to the depths of the earth from the surface of the earth. By using customized dense surface arrays, MicroThermal Energy provides high-resolution discrete fracture network mapping of EGS reservoirs regardless of how deep or hot the formation is.
- By mapping an EGS reservoir’s discrete fracture network in real time, operators can optimize the connectivity between injection and production wells as the reservoir is created.
The Most Trusted Name in Geothermal Energy Monitoring
Ensure Maximum Energy Output
EGS is all about stimulating the rock to get the optimal, long-term connectivity and drainage which comes from fractures filled with proppant.
Above, in this total fracture volume view as derived from conventional microseismic, this pair of wells appear to be connecting.
However, when you use our MicroThermal Energy Analysis to view the actual propped fracture volume, it’s clear they do not. Using this advanced data, future completions can be improved to ensure optimal well connectivity and maximum heat exchange!
MicroThermal Energy creates VALUE by quantifying your geothermal stimulation success by providing data-driven insights that empower operators to be a HERO.
