EGS, Inc. services

Subsurface vizualisation: EGS uses 2 and 3 dimensionnal graphics softwares to represent well data, geologic structures, and temperature distribution models. These models give an overview easier to understand and that can quickly be updated with new data. It is also a useful tool to developpe your communication mediums to a non-technical attendance to your meetings. Programs currently used by our specialists include:
ESRI ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap, ArcScene, ArcGlobe), Rockworks 15 by Rockware, Xtool Pro, Google Earth, Surfer 8, Adobe Creative Suite.

Resource estimation: EGS has completed many estimates of potential electric generation for geothermal prospects using stored heat and power density approaches to approximate generation that could result from a developed geothermal project. The stored heat approach uses probabilistic rather than deterministic inputs to a Monte Carlo simulator to estimate the conversion of the stored subsurface heat into electrical power. The power density approach incorporates drilling, flow test and production data from analogous developed fields to estimate a range of potential generation for a given productive area. We regard the two approaches as linked because uncertainties predominate in many inputs and each approach provides a reality check to achieve realistic estimates of geothermal potential.
