Well testing maury Wed 24/04/2019 - 10:39

Prior to exploitation, wells are tested to assess wellbore and reservoir properties such as permeability, reservoir pressure, reservoir limits and boundaries or productivity... The test consists in the monitoring and measurement of temperature and pressure response of the reservoir to changing production and injection conditions. The profiles are analyzed and interpreted using physical equations (Horne, 1995) to estimate reservoir parameters. Well testing is an important step to decide well stimulation and reservoir development strategies, design adequate installations and obtain well and reservoir initial conditions to preserve injectivity.

Exploration maury Wed 24/04/2019 - 10:35

Exploration is a phase of a geothermal project focused on prospecting. It is during this phase that different tools (logging, exploration drilling, geophysical acquisition, sampling, etc.) are used to characterize geothermal reservoirs, their geology, their structure, and thus identify the potential area that could be exploited for geothermal energy recovery. This phase can last for a few years. Exploration aims at identifying optimal conditions in terms of temperature, fluid circulation, and geology… to install a geothermal operation.
