    Geothermal Technology

    InnovationsThe University o Auckland always seeks to bring new and improved

    technologies and techniques to locating, developing and managing

    geothermal energy. Recent innovations rom the Geothermal Institute

    include:

    Joint Geophysical Imaging

    In the area o geothermal exploration, IESE oers a unique Joint

    Geophysical Imaging (JGI) technology which involves combining data rom

    seismographs and other geophysical instruments or analysis and

    interpretation, and takes advantage o signal polarisation eects

    produced by subsurace ractures. It is designed to signicantly lessen

    development risks, and thereore costs, by locating optimum drilling

    targets.Forexample,insomegeothermalelds,theJGIapproachhas

    resultedindoublingnewwelloutputsbyndinghighpermeabilityzones.

    The JGI method improves resolution o reservoir boundaries, upfow, ault,

    andfracturezones,andfracturedensityandorientation.Fordevelopersit

    oers a way to reduce the risk-against-returns in geothermal exploration.

    Engineered Geothermal Systems Modelling and

    Monitoring

    IESE researchers have been developing advanced, data based models

    o the complex interactions o hot rocks and fuids, erratic fow

    pathways, and the deormation eects o temperature and pressure

    changes or Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS, a high-

    potential geothermal technology that has not been realised on an

    industrial scale, is intended to work by creating turbine-turning steamthroughwatercontactwithhotrock. Theprocessrequiresenhancing

    fow pathways in such rocks. The EGS process generates small seismic

    events(inducedseismicity). Bydeployingaboreholeseismicnetwork

    at such project sites, the location o these microearthquakes can be

    readilydetectedandtheirmagnitudesmonitored. Thisvaluableseismic

    data can be interpreted or accurate well targeting and ensur ing that

    seismic saety measures are ollowed. IESE sta been involved in

    monitoring3EGSprojects:Basel,Paralana,andNaknek.

    Deep Borehole Observatories

    With one o its industrial partners, IESE has co-developed a cableless,

    downhole seismometer and data acquisition array. Since datarecording is within each sonde o the array, data losses due to

    transmission noise are eliminated. This new tool is especially well

    suited to the recording o the aintest o seismic signals, perhaps the

    smallest ever detected in deep boreholes. In more standard

    applications, IESEs microearthquake monitoring networks are being

    used to assist in geothermal development and management by tracking

    the locations o seismicity that relate to fuid production and injection.

    Geothermal Modelling: Sophisticated Reservoir

    Simulator Development

    TheGeothermalInstitutemodellersintheDepartmentofEngineering

    Science have developed sotware tools or geothermal well-boresimulation, automated well test analysis and tracking o geothermal

    tracers. In particular, this group is running large complex models o

    geothermal elds in New Zealand and overseas. In order to do this,

    very ast solvers have been developed as part o the reservoir simulator

    as well as a range o visualisation tools to show the simulation results.

    PYTHONscriptingtoolshavealsobeendevelopedtoassistwithcomplex models such as that o the Lihir geothermal system where the

    excavation o a gold mine has to be included in the model.

    Automated Model Calibration

    An important part o current research is geothermal reservoir model

    calibration which involves the choice o suitable parameter values or

    quantitiessuchaspermeabilityandporosityinthereservoir.Forthe

    calibration o a large model o a whole reservoir where there may be

    thousands o computational elements or blocks the problem is very

    dicult. The modellers are using two innovative sophisticated

    approaches to solve this problem.

    Fluid Rock Interaction

    The Geothermal Institute modelers are currently investigating several

    topics involving fuid rock interaction. The rst o these is the modeling

    subsidence in geothermal elds. Their method involves using a coupling

    ofthereservoirmodelingsoftwareTOUGH2witharockmechanics

    simulator called ABAQUS. Available geotechnical expertise provides

    insight into the compressibility properties o geothermal strata or the

    ABAQUS modeling. A second study is looking at the e ect o the

    injection o cold water into a hot geothermal reservoir.

    Reinjection o Geothermal Fields

    The Geothermal Institute modelers have recently carr ied out a review o

    experience worldwide o reinjection in geothermal systems and

    complemented this with a modeling study to test ideas about where it is

    best to reinject: either ineld close to the production wells or ar away

    rom them. Their results show that ineld reinjection should not be

    preerred or hot systems like Wairakei but is desirable or hot water

    systems where pressure support is required.

    Control Systems or ORC Geothermal Plants

    AdynamicmodelofanORCplantisbeingcompletedandwillbeused

    to look at the eectiveness o dierent control strategies. The aim is to

    design a control system that takes multiple actors into account such asouling, plant maintenance, resource consent compliance, reservoir

    status and the optimisation o a network o electricity generation plants

    based on real-time market data.

    Geothermal Project ExamplesThe Geothermal Institute through its aliated research groups has

    undertaken a number o geothermal projects both in New Zealand and

    internationally in recent years. These projects include:

    Geothermal Exploration and Development

    Island o Nevis, Caribbean - greeneld exploration involving a

    combination o geoscientic data (geological and geophysical mapping)

    led to the drilling o several successul exploration wells and the

    discovery o an economically exploitable high temperature resource.

    Montserrat - A geophysical survey involving two types o

    near Saint Georges Hill. This site has now become the ocus o a

    potential high temperature geothermal power development.

    Sumatra, Indonesia - Joint Geophysical Imaging (JGI using

    electromagnetic and seismic data) o greeneld geothermal sites in

    Sumatra was completed to determine drilling targets or a geothermal

    power development. A seismic survey was conducted using a

    combination o surace and borehole instruments, with emphasis

    placedonS-wavesplittingassociatedwithzonesofaligned,high

    permeability,fractures.ExistingMTdatawasanalysedforpreviously
