GeoSol™ Online Well Cleaning Program

Geothermal reservoirs naturally recharge, but they can be depleted or compromised, leading to their abandonment. The GeoSol online well cleaning program extends the life of the well by keeping it online and productive. The program’s online features offer key benefits. Well cleaning — of both production and reinjection wells — can be monitored and controlled remotely, improving worker safety, and can be implemented without interrupting normal well operation. This contributes to improved efficiency and lower costs compared to traditional chemical and mechanical cleaning methods.

The GeoSol online well cleaning program is specifically designed for geothermal power plants facing performance loss due to scale buildup. Key applications include:

• Production wells impacted by mineral deposits
• Reinjection wells impacted by mineral deposits
• Wells where traditional chemical or mechanical cleaning methods have proven ineffective or costly
• Wells with low intrinsic permeability
• Geothermal plants aiming to improve sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint

Geothermal plants help power companies reduce their reliance on fossil fuels — but only if they remain productive. The GeoSol online well cleaning program can help geothermal power producers achieve their sustainability goals in three key areas:

• Lower Carbon Emissions: By restoring well performance, the technology helps offset greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal-generated alternatives.
• Increased Green Energy Output: GeoSol™ supports the growth of clean, renewable geothermal energy by maximizing production.
• Minimized Environmental Impact: Reduces the need for disruptive drilling of new wells and reliance on fossil fuel power sources.
