Geothermal
Geothermal energy is a renewable and sustainable source of energy that plays a vital role in global energy supply.
To guarantee peak performance and longevity of geothermal wells, it is essential to implement a wellbore operation and maintenance strategy.
A fundamental component of this strategy is to address the formation of scaling attributed to mineral precipitation from the brine during the reinjection and production process. The accumulation of the scale deposits significantly impacts the lifespan and efficiency of geothermal wells by restricting fluid flow, reducing wellbore performance and often leading to premature well failure.
Blue Spark provides a sustainable solution for wellbore cleaning to remove scale build-up in the near wellbore region.
Implementing a proactive strategy for regular wellbore cleaning will extend the operational life of geothermal wells, ultimately enhancing the economic viability of a geothermal project.
