 projects that advance geothermal development by addressing two significant barriers:
understanding subsurface state of stress and
managing lost circulation events in drilling.
Improved understanding of the stress state in geothermal fields will lead to significant cost reductions at several stages of the development cycle, including improved drilling success rates and sustainability of reservoirs over time.
