High temperature

Geothermal energy for power generation

High temperature - power generation

In some geographical regions, geothermal energy can be harnessed from extremely hot water and steam generated from medium to high temperature (160 to > 200°C) resources which are sufficient to generate electricity in dedicated power plants.

Applications
  • Re-lining of high temperature wells
  • Prolonged asset life via improved well integrity
  • Remediation of shut-in wells
  • EGS - Enhanced Geothermal Systems

High energy supply

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.

Well construction and remediation

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.

Current designs of the WAB are qualified for up to 300°C, which can be used for injection and production wells with the possibility of modifications to address specific requirements.

Welltec solutions

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.

Our solutions enable operators to optimize well design while minimizing the risks and challenges associated with formation uncertainties and high temperatures.

Geothermal well requirements

Integration of Welltec Annular Barrier (WAB®) technology provides the necessary:

  • High resistance against acidic corrosion
  • Robust capability against extreme pressure swings through life-of-Well

Take greater control of your wells with our new WAB portfolio; all-metal, high-temperature packers. In the challenging geothermal market, WAB solutions ensure long-term safety and reliability—minimizing maintenance, maximizing asset life with reduced CAPEX and complexity.
