Geothermal services

FEASIBILITY STUDIES

Many of our clients are at an early stage in their project planning and may not yet know whether there is a viable geothermal option to meet their heat or power needs. We provide a staged feasibility and development approach which aims to minimise the financial exposure as the risks and uncertainties are reduced by further and more detailed work.

An assessment of the heat loads and an initial consideration of the geological environment and the geothermal potential to determine whether a geothermal solution is feasible.

PROJECT PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION

Once feasibility has been established we can plan and deliver the project, normally in partnership with the client’s project team.

Development of project design and programme, used to secure the necessary funding for development. This would include projections of performance and energy outputs, drilling costs, surface plant construction and O&M costs.

We have more than 40 years’ experience in geothermal research and commercial applications of all geothermal types and can provide independent, trustworthy advice and due diligence for potential investors, regulators and stakeholders.

For several years we were the geothermal technical coordinator for the European Commission, providing technical oversight of geothermal demonstration projects that they had funded.
