Exploration Services
In the exploration and reconnaissance phase of any geothermal project, you need a partner who really understands what’s going on underground. At GeothermEx, we have surveyed, mapped and analyzed more than 100 different geothermal fields across the globe. From full-scale exploration, management and planning on remote island locations to a multi-year project in Nevada that resulted in a 60 MW geothermal development, we offer the critical know-how ...
-
Drilling Engineering & Management Services
At GeothermEx, we have a wide range of experience in designing and managing geothermal drilling programs. Over the years, we have designed and drilled exploration, production and injection wells in all types of environments. We cover the entire range of possibilities, from simple, shallow temperature gradient holes to the most complicated, deep multi-legged completions. We have drilled in remote corners of the world and in areas with complex logistics ...
-
Well Testing Services
Well testing is a critical phase in the development of any geothermal resource. In the past three decades, we have tested wells that tap into all types of reservoirs - dry steam, low enthalpy, two-phase, single-phase hot water, hypersaline, high gas and EGS. We have significant expertise in fluid chemistry, sampling and analysis. In some sites, such as Guatemala and the Azores, we have been testing and analyzing fluid samples for decades, giving us an ...

Resource Assessment Services
Understanding and evaluating geothermal resources forms the heart of what we do at GeothermEx. In any geothermal project, the most significant variable is the resource itself. Assessing the risks and opportunities in a resource is critical to long-term success. Over the past three decades, we have become global leaders in resource assessment with specialized expertise in everything you need to understand your resource -- from geological analysis to ...

Numerical Reservoir Simulation
Analyzing and predicting the behavior of a geothermal resource over time is one of the most critical components of geothermal power production. At GeothermEx, we have conducted numerical simulations of more geothermal reservoirs that any other organization in the world – 45 and counting. These site-specific simulations have been conducted in most major geothermal regions around the world including the United States, Latin America, all around the ...
-
Enhanced Geothermal Systems
Existing conventional hydrothermal developments barely scratch the surface in terms of the vast heat resources of the planet. At GeothermEx, we understand that geothermal’s long-term, large-scale success will depend on deployment of systems that release more of the latent potential locked in the ground through the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems or EGS. Through the lens of our commercial geothermal experience, we have used existing EGS ...
-
Due Diligence
For the past three decades, GeothermEx has conducted due diligence and verified resources for financial institutions in nearly every geothermal project in the United States and abroad that was financed by bank loans or bonds. This comprehensive experience is leveraged for every due diligence engagement we perform, offering superior value for every client. The results speak for themselves: our due diligence services have enabled the development of ...
