Geothermal Energy Exploration Services
Geothermal energy, whether from shallow,intermediate depth or from deep aquifers provides a way to generate heat or electricity with a low carbon fingerprint. It is considered as an excellent low-carbon solution when adequate technical and economic conditions are met.
Geothermal energy, potentially the largest and presently most misunderstood source of energy
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy can be harnessed from underground reservoirs, containing hot rocks saturated with water and/or steam. Its development requires careful evaluation of the best locations to provide high-quality resources which are, high thermal gradients, appropriate reservoir properties, appropriate safety and geomechanical behavior.
Our added value comes from our multidisciplinary experience and geothermal experts support the evaluation and de-risking of geothermal prospects, from exploration to production.
GOGS main services covers :
- resource exploration and assessment through Investigation of the geological structure and identification of fault systems in the subsurface through 3-D seismic interpretation.
- geothermal reservoir characterization
- Selection of optimal geothermal resource :thermal regime, reservoir characterization, flow properties, economics.
- Geomechanical characterization of reservoir and cap rock ( risk assessment).
- Evaluation and optimization of geothermal wells.
- Valorization of hot produced fluids.
CO2 Capture and Storage
Carbon management helps organizations stay focused on achieving it their targets to reduce CO2 emissions and their use of fossil fuels
The Oil and Gas Upstream Industry is addressing two simultaneous challenges.
On the one hand, the Upstream Industry must continue securing enough oil and gas reserves and production to satisfy the world’s needs, present and future.
In the same time, the Oil and Gas Industry is transforming itself to become a key player in the Energy Transition.
Reducing the carbon footprint of operations is an objective of key importance for the Oil and Gas industry. This involves auditing, quantifying and reducing its GHG emissions, developing workflows and methodologies to abate the carbon intensity of its operations, improve energy efficiency and use lesser carbon intensive power on operations sites.
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS)
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) means using captured CO2 directly, or converting captured CO2 into useful industrial products. CCS is a relatively expensive process that produces inherently low-value products (such as CO2). Carbon capture therefore makes more economic sense when combined with a utilization process in which cheap carbon dioxide can be used to produce high-quality chemicals to offset the high cost of the capture operation. Some of these chemicals can in turn be converted into electricity, making CO2 not only a raw material, but an ideal energy carrier. CCS and CCU are often collectively referred to as CO2 capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). Unlike CCS, the goal of CCU is not permanent geological storage.
CCUS is widely recognized as one of the solutions to reduce carbon emissions and meet regulatory and investor demands. CCUS applications include emissions from heavy industries such as oil refining, cement, steel, chemical, liquefied natural gas, and gas processing. The potential of CCUS is extremely important to the oil and gas industry because it is a source of greenhouse gas emissions, but also because CO2 capture and storage requires skills and expertise in upstream and downstream industries. GOGS technical services provide comprehensive subsurface studies, including interpretation of geophysical, geological, liquid phase and pressure data, to determine in situ CO2 injectability, reservoir capacity, injection profiles and ultimately design optimized, fully integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) to determine development plan. Using our extensive network of consultants , we dispatch experts on a project basis to provide customized expert solutions to client problems.
