Geothermal Well Testing
Unlock the full potential of your geothermal resources with our expert geothermal well testing solutions. Well testing is essential for understanding a geothermal well, optimizing its performance, and ensuring regulatory compliance. It enables companies involved in geothermal energy production to make informed decisions, enhance efficiency, and maximize the energy output for their geothermal wells.
With 15 years of experience in geothermal well testing, we have developed a custom-built geothermal well test spread. Over the years, we have continuously invested in enhancing our well test equipment – including degassers, flowlines, high-flow filters, and data logging systems – to meet the evolving needs of our clients and their projects. Our specialised well test spread, designed specifically for geothermal well testing, enables us to conduct multiple geothermal well test projects annually across Europe.
Whether optimizing an existing geothermal well or planning a new project, our well testing services provide the critical insights you need for success. We offer a comprehensive range of geothermal well testing solutions, including production tests, injection tests, closed-loop tests, separation services, and well clean-ups.
Production Test
Geothermal production testing is a crucial phase in the development of geothermal energy projects. It involves evaluating the performance and potential of a geothermal well to ensure it can deliver the necessary energy output reliably and efficiently. Accurate production testing helps with making informed decisions about the viability and scalability of geothermal projects, ultimately contributing to their success.
Injection Test
Geothermal injection testing is a critical component in the development of geothermal energy systems. It involves injecting water or other fluids into the geothermal reservoir to evaluate the injection capacity and assess the reservoir’s response. This process is essential for maintaining reservoir pressure, ensuring sustainable energy extraction, and preventing operational issues such as scaling and thermal breakthrough. Conducting thorough injection tests optimizes the performance and longevity of geothermal wells.
Closed Loop Test
By combining production and injection testing, a closed-loop test verifies that a geothermal system operates as intended, detects and resolves potential issues, and fully harnesses the advantages of this renewable energy source. This testing process also helps assess the performance and characteristics of a geothermal reservoir or well. During a closed-loop test, geothermal fluid circulates within a sealed system—recirculating through the well and surface facilities without being released. The data gathered is used to evaluate the geothermal resource’s potential for sustainable energy generation.
Well Clean-Up
The well clean-up process is often combined with well testing and is performed to remove unwanted contaminants such as drilling mud, sand, completion brines, or stimulation fluids like acid from the flow stream. Before exposing the production facilities to potential damage, the well is produced through our temporary well testing equipment, including MPV degassers, high-flow sand filters, and hydrocyclones. These systems are specifically designed to handle well contaminants and operate within a more flexible and less restrictive envelope than production facilities. This ensures that the well is cleaned under conditions that exceed the normal operating parameters of the production facility.
Separation Services
During the extraction of geothermal energy, by-products are generated. These by-products must be separated before they can be utilized. This is where separation services for geothermal energy become crucial. We offer professional separation services for geothermal installations, employing our degasser, gas dryer, and flare systems.
