Geoscience technology developer CGG has released new components of its GeoVerse data system to support the evaluation of geothermal energy potential and help identify new sites and regions for future development.

The Geothermal Resource Assessment study draws upon the GeoVerse well, seismic and interpretation database and experience in over 130 completed geothermal projects and applies a proprietary methodology to evaluate over 700,000 subsurface temperature data points. The analysis covered high-energy volcanic geothermal systems as well as lower-temperature but far more extensive systems associated with sedimentary basins that represent a significant emerging resource opportunity. The studyAn expanded database supports the evaluation of geothermal energy potential and helps identify new sites and regions for future development. Source: CGG and supporting primary data, delivered through the GeoVerse platform, allows subscribers to interrogate data in an interactive environment to address key geothermal system questions. This global study, available for license, provides a baseline dataset and analytical resource evaluation aid for explorers, operators and investors to discover, assess and compare opportunities.

A GeoVerse Lithium Brine Screening study has also been completed to support the search for new sources of this critical energy transition element. CGG engineers developed a proprietary methodology to evaluate more than 250,000 data points and 27,000 lithium measurements to create a comprehensive and consistent water chemistry database, supplemented by key engineering and geochemical characteristics, to help inform project development and investment decisions.
