Low temperature
Geothermal heat for direct use
Welltec products and solutions verified by over 25 years of experience in oil & gas industry can be applied both to construction of low-temperature geothermal wells and optimizing production.
Low-temperature geothermal energy uses the heat of the Earth's subsurface or hot groundwater, below 160°C for direct heating by means of heat pumps and ground source collectors, consisting of underground pipelines or vertical boreholes.
Low-temperature geothermal systems are cost effective and carbon-free, they offer a range of low-intensity applications, including district heating, use in spas, heating and cooling systems, aquaculture and agriculture as well as de-icing of roads.
Geothermal resources have been identified in over 90 countries and there are records of geothermal utilization in over 72 of them.
The Welltec Light Packer (WLP™) is developed specifically for less hazardous environments, making it a perfect solution for constructing low-temperature geothermal wells.
The WLP is a high grade, robust alternative to swellable technology for zonal isolation and cement assurance.

The closed loop nature of a geothermal system results in water becoming laden with minerals such as silica and carbonates originating from the formation. This creates massive scale buildup in the pipes, thus reducing productivity.
By applying tools like the Well Miller®, Welltec can demonstrate a long and successful track record of more

Welltec Interventions can be performed in many ways and in versatile environments, even in populated areas. In such cases the optimal approach is with a truck-mounted winch assembly and utilization of a crane on site. Thereby limiting overall footprint and disruption to nearby properties. Typical well site only requires 1000 sqm working area.
