Our Services

●      Review of Existing Data

➢        Reviewing/collecting of existing geothermal exploration data and validation of results

➢        Interpretation of data

●       Studies of surface manifestations and Geochemical studies

➢        Visual studies, photographs (infra-red)

➢        Mapping of the manifestations

                                 This includes:

▪          Measurement of temperature and flow rate

▪          Mapping of soil temperature

▪          Chemical analysis of springs and gas from steam vents which provides information on reservoir temperatures.

➢  Mapping of Soil Diffusion & Co2 Gas flux

➢  Geothermal Sampling & Analysis

➢  Geological Exploration

     Geological mapping including volcanic history, geothermal manifestations, tectonic structures and risk estimates

▪          Geological mapping (lithology)

▪          Structural geology, (fractures, faults)

▪          Volcanology and volcanic history

▪          Hydrogeology

▪          Geo-hazard and environmental geology

➢  Geophysical Exploration

                            This includes:

▪   Resistivity (0 -1 km) – TEM

▪   Resistivity (0-25 km) – MT

▪   Micro seismicity (0 - 5 km)

▪    Micro-seismicity can be monitored and micro-earthquakes can be located to identify and map out active faults and permeability as well as heat     mining from the heat source. Several seismometers can be installed to monitor the area in question for a few months to collect data

▪   Gravity, Elevation Magnetics (dykes, faults)

▪            Gravimetric survey with GPS height and location is to map out density anomalies and density contrasts, outlining possible faults or                       intrusions that might be linked to the geothermal resource

■          Gravimetric surveys are often used as a monitoring tool, i.e., to map the gravity change, yielding information on the drawdown as a response         to fluid production from the reservoir

■          Magnetic measurements can help locate dykes and may give information on demagnetization due to high temperature

▪   Volumetric Assessment

■          The first approach to evaluate the resource upon completing the surface exploration is to carry out a volumetric assessment of the                       resource. This assessment is improved by the information gained from the exploration drilling

The following chapters shall be included:

➢        Information gained from the surface exploration

➢        Estimation of the size of the geothermal resource and its exploitable thickness

➢        Estimation of the reservoir temperature

➢        Expected reservoir fluid chemistry

➢        Definition of drilling targets

➢        Type and number of exploration wells to be drilled

➢        volumetric assessment

➢        Preliminary conceptual model of the field

➢        Estimate of the power potential of the resource

➢        Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
