Geothermal resources are set to play an ever more important role in supplying a sustainable source of energy for a greener future. However, geothermal development is high-risk and requires high initial exploration costs to pinpoint viable geothermal locations and monitoring during production. Seismic mapping is the gold-standard tool for understanding the subsurface and assessing geological risk to make informed drilling and well management decisions.
Over recent years there has been a step-change in subsurface mapping technologies, with the miniaturisation of seismic technology helping to reduce exploration and monitoring costs, and leading to accelerated de-risking decisions.
During this webinar we will present three separate case studies where the latest seismic technology has been used to explore for geothermal hotspots, either with conventional reflection seismic or passive data, and separately for monitoring, of micro-seismicity during a geothermal well stimulation phase.
