Africa is fortunate to have significant clean Gas resources, but not all countries have them. With the challenges of electrification and elimination of energy poverty, there is a persistent, environmentally sustainable renewable available to provide this energy. Geothermal is a natural pivot for traditional upstream companies to broaden their asset […]

Another potential location for accessing Geothermal Energy is Subduction Zones associated with Volcanic Arc Geology. Hydrothermal and/or petrothermal reservoirs are possible to be exploited for significant enthalpy with production and injection wells. Volatile fluid release from subducted crust includes carbon components from organic matter, carbonates, water and hydrous materials. These […]
Geothermal energy is able to be captured from several types of subsurface locations. One such location is Hydrothermal Reservoirs which may have been found during conventional oil & gas exploration and development. These heated aquifers are able to be utilised by repurposing some wells and/or drilling new wells for fluid […]
Not every location has sufficient solar radiation (e.g. due to pervasive cloudiness) or wind energy (e.g. “Doldrums”) for these intermittent renewables. Some locations have geothermal energy resources, but other tropical coastal and island nations are not so fortunate. An alternative source of renewable energy is OTEC, taking advantage of the […]
