GEO4ALL is a collaborative innovation program designed to accelerate the development of geothermal energy in the Netherlands. Led by Geothermie Nederland, EBN, andTNO, the program unites 23 partners from the geothermal sector, including WellPerform, to tackle key research challenges and enhance the efficiency and sustainability of geothermal energy extraction.
WellPerform plays a pivotal role in WP2: Unlocking Marginal Reservoirs, focusing on improving geothermal heat production from challenging formations like the Slochteren Formation. The company contributes by:
Well Concept Selection: Applying advanced well design workflows to optimize well configurations and significantly increase flow rates.
Risk and Performance Analysis: Assessing drilling risks and modelling scenarios to improve project performance and business viability.
Case Studies: Conducting detailed studies that explore various well designs and operational solutions, offering valuable insights for the geothermal sector.
Through these contributions, WellPerform helps optimize geothermal operations, enabling cost-effective, sustainable energy solutions. The GEO4ALL program as a whole works to enhance geothermal development, promote innovation, and build a stronger, more efficient geothermal energy sector in the Netherlands.
