Geothermal resource assessment, utilisation and modeling

geothermal field

IRL offers specialist geothermal services using a combination of our materials scientists and reservoir modellers.

These include:

  • Reservoir modelling and engineering to predict response to production and reinjection and to assess environmental impact
  • Use of advanced computer modelling systems.
  • Calculation of chemical conditions in the reservoir.
  • Specification and testing of grouts for geothermal applications.
  • Development of large scale and complex models of geothermal systems
  • Ability to solve problems that cannot be addressed with standard methods
  • Specialist handling of supercritical temperature and pressure regimes
  • Advanced coupling of the response of surface features to changing reservoir conditions
  • Combining reservoir models with rock mechanics to predict subsidence
  • Use of advanced computer modelling systems.
  • Development of advanced well cement materials
