Our Expertise: Services

Production and Reservoir Engineering: Veegeo Sproule Geothermal provides a holistic approach to geothermal production monitoring and optimization. This starts with implementing various production engineering aspects in the well design, including artificial lift and completion design, material selection, well testing, and chemical prevention of corrosion and scaling.

During the production phase, the integrity of the wells is insured by our internally developed “Wells Integrity Management System” (WIMS). Our tailor-made chemical and data analysis tools can monitor flow performance continuously. Together with Sproule’s Reservoir Characterization service, we provide geothermal reservoir engineering solutions to ensure long-term, continuous geothermal production while maintaining reservoir integrity.

Strategic Advisory and Due Diligence: Geothermal development requires expertise in technical, commercial, and operational aspects. We support investors and operators with strategic and technical advice for decision-making during the design and project realization phases, as well as for geothermal production optimization. Our extensive experience in geothermal operations is decisive in delivering high-quality, subject-specific advice, covering the full geothermal spectrum ranging from shallow ground source heat pumps, and low-mid temperature doublets for direct-use district heating to high-enthalpy binary systems. Together with Sproule’s Energy Advisory service, our experts are equipped with a range of proficiencies enabling a comprehensive overview to deliver holistic advice on complex challenges.

Geological Evaluations and Seismic Risk Management: Subsurface activities are associated with risks, as is geothermal energy production. Management and mitigation of these risks, such as potentially causing seismicity, is essential for geothermal operations. Supported by Sproule’s G&G experts, our team performs extensive geological evaluations, including seismic interpretation, petrophysical analyses, and static and dynamic geomodelling, to better understand the geothermal target reservoirs. While there is no consensus on how to accurately predict seismic risk, monitoring local seismicity proactively has proven to increase its understanding. Veegeo Sproule Geothermal provides location-specific seismic risk management solutions, including seismic hazard evaluations, (baseline) seismic activity monitoring, including wells activity correlation, seismic response protocols, and seismic activity alerts. These insights contribute to safe and responsible geothermal heat production, which is critical for the licence to operate.

Project Management: The realization and exploitation of a geothermal operation requires strategic management and coordination of various project factors. Our team has significant experience overseeing this extensive process, including development strategy, design process, procurement with vendors and service contractors, supervision, and realization of geothermal systems. Our team manages routine well intervention projects, well test programs, well optimization and double-tubing operations, and complete wells delivery projects with innovative well material solutions and various types of stakeholders and high exposure.
