Exploration

A cause corresponds to a combination of elements or phases that may trigger an impacting phenomenon

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.
