Did you know how critical permeability is in geothermal exploration? 🌍🔥 Understanding permeability is essential for geothermal resource assessment and well targeting, as it serves as both a ‘container’ and a channel for geothermal fluids to circulate. In this series, we will discuss the basic data required for understanding permeability, along with its uncertainties and pitfalls. Let's dive into the details below! 🤨 Are there any other factors we should consider?

Permeability is critical in geothermal exploration. Here is how to assess it by geochemistry, geophysics, and geological methods: remote sensing, structures, and stratigraphy.

Limited subsurface information poses a challenge during geothermal exploration, increasing risk and dampening community and industry support. Over recent years there has been a step-change in subsurface mapping technologies, which have proven to be extremely valuable in geothermal exploration, even in challenging environments.

In this interview with Dr. Egbert Jolie of fluxtec, we discuss the value of soil gas flux measurements as an added surface exploration tool for geothermal♨. How exactly does this work and how can we use it to mitigate the risks of geothermal development? 🤔 Read more here ➡ : https://lnkd.in/dP2N5zPS #Geothermal #SurfaceExploration #RiskMitigation #Exploration #ThinkGeoEnergyInterview

Join us this Friday, 23rd of August, for a webinar on the progress and future of the Utah FORGE project. We have been keeping an eye on Utah FORGE for some time, and it's always good to hear about it straight from the source.

#Venezuela is coming back from a void of the last twenty years. The foundation for successful investments in the country is in understanding the definitions of the basin boundaries, following geologic and not administrative field outlines, and linking our understanding of the complex geology of plate boundaries across political boundaries.

🌍 If you're attending GRC2024, don't miss the chance to hear from geothermal reservoir expert Santiago Rocha! He will share groundbreaking insights on the Salton Sea Geothermal Field (SSGF), renowned for its high-temperature, high-salinity complex-chemistry brine, in his “Conceptual Hydrothermal Model of the Salton Sea KGRA” presentation (Session 5C: Reservoir/Production 10:40 AM - 11:00 AM). Santiago will introduce a conceptual model that explores the interaction between permeability structures and thermo-chemical barriers, providing a perspective on the vertical distribution of salinity and temperature in the SSGF. This study is based on real data from the Hudson Ranch Power I project, unveiling the complex dynamics of the double-diffusive convective system and its significance for understanding SSGF behavior. This is a fantastic opportunity for professionals and enthusiasts in geothermal energy to engage with a true expert, ask questions, and learn from cutting-edge research in one of the world’s most complex and prolific geothermal systems! 🗓 Date: Wednesday, October 30, 2024 🕒 Time: 10:40 AM 📍 Location: Kohala 3, Session 5C: Reservoir/Production #GeothermalEnergy #SaltonSea #GeothermalReservoirEngineering #GRC2024

The rock type is less important than the fundamental problem that rock is an insulator. Flow in fractures cools the fracture surfaces then leaves heat stranded in the blocks of rock between the fractures. This is a smaller problem in very heavily fractured, very hot rocks which are close to the surface, as is typical of hydrothermal geothermal plays. Wells that are drilled deep need to have long well lives to be economical. The alternative to Hot Dry Rock (HDR) plays such as FORGE and Fervo are pursuing is Hot Sedimentary Aqujfer (HSA) plays where fluid is flowed through the pore space so that heat can be more completely extracted because heat only needs to be conducted over the grain scale.

Moosetooth Geological Consulting has been recognized as one of the Top Energy Consulting Providers by Energy Business Review. Moosetooth provide seismic interpretation services if the data is available or desired by the client. Seismic volumes enhance the clarity of the subsurface in several ways and are often an important element to the success of a project. Moosetooth generates synthetic seismograms to accurately tie seismic reflections to their proper geologic interval. The data is then interpreted with horizons and faults, which helps pinpoint potential hydrocarbon traps and guides the selection of future drilling locations. “Evaluating organic shale is like cooking a steak—if it’s ‘cooked’ to the right level, say medium-rare or medium, it hits the sweet spot for generating hydrocarbons in an unconventional petroleum system. If the source rock is ‘undercooked,’ it’s not yet ready to produce, which is valuable information for our clients to have early on. This way, they know exactly when and how to capitalize on their resources,” says Maurits Thayer, President. The article will also be featured in the forthcoming special print edition of Energy Consulting 2024.
