Digital geothermal solutions

Optimize planning and operations for geothermal projects

Overview

Optimize geothermal performance

Countries around the world are looking for new paths to dependable and renewable energy solutions. At SLB we offer digital geothermal solutions for planning and operations—from subsurface resource assessment to surface facility design.

Leverage domain-leading surface and subsurface digital technologies to de-risk and accelerate the development of your geothermal project today.

Minimize CAPEX

Minimize CAPEX through detailed surface and subsurface characterization workflows. With our digital solutions you can determine the size and production potential of a geothermal energy resource and optimize the design and operation of surface facilities.

Use surface software for design and simulation of a geothermal facility, whether single-flash, double-flash, or binary cycle. Determine what type of facility is suitable and feasible for your project and help optimize operations.

De-risk your project

Get the most from the data you have. Perform comprehensive geophysical and geological interpretation on a wide variety of data types, including gravity, magnetic, magnetollurgic, geochemistry, map, well log, 2D/3D seismic, and more. Build 3D models for static and dynamic modeling to optimize vapor production and create accurate field development plans, that consider the associated uncertainties.

Optimize well placement and production

Gain a detailed understanding of the subsurface so you can identify permeability sweet spots, natural fracture networks, and potential fracture propagation and enable optimized well placement and production performance.
