Resource Assessment
| ThermaSouce, LLC assists in resource assessment before or during drilling to identify and evaluate potential resource zones. Our job is to locate available resources, determine how much is available and how fast it can be produced. This information aids in drill site selection, project development planning and economic feasibility considerations. ThermaSource, LLC also provides integrated geothermal reservoir studies that are customized to the specific needs of our clients. These studies include analysis of well logs, test data, geological studies and geophysical information. With this data we can develop a reservoir description. To create optimal development strategies we also calculate an energy and mass balance. Once drilling has commenced information to assist in well-site evaluation of geological formations, gasses, geothermal fluids, and drilling activity is obtained through sensors located on the drilling rig. |  |
