Geothermal energy for power generation
Welltec® provides advanced completion solutions to the geothermal sector, supporting the global growth of this reliable and consistent high-energy renewable.
Welltec offers multiple solutions using an all-metal expandable packer to assist operators in various stages of drilling and completion. Welltec Annular Barrier (WAB®) technology can be incorporated into helping achieve challenging high temperature cement jobs and provide isolation for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and stimulations, as well as facilitating re-lining operations.
Geothermal well construction requires packer technology resistant to high temperatures, often combined with cement to enhance integrity and protect the life span of the wellbore.
These solutions also provide zonal isolation for stimulation if required and facilitate the remediation of wells that are shut-in due to casing collapse, burst or buckling, a common issue in this sector.
As geothermal technology continues to develop, our completion solutions can offer the growing geothermal market the option to not only revive existing 'shut-in' wells, but also develop new geothermal wells with a prolonged and reliable lifespan.
Integration of Welltec Annular Barrier (WAB®) technology provides the necessary:
