The combination of a wide choice of projects and the limited resources available to tackle them means that, as investors and developers, we need to prioritise our options. We need to know which are the best projects and development companies to work with, what opportunities are easiest to finance and which project can be most effectively developed to maximise the return to shareholders. Through both the exploration and development phases, budgets must be kept tight without taking risks or cutting corners. And, knowing that some EGS projects have encountered problems, we need to find the capabilities and technical solutions which can help us avoid them.
We have the knowledge and experience to carry through every phase of a project. First, we identify the most promising sites and confirm the probability of finding or creating the right combinations of fluid, heat and permeability. We define a project plan and strategy with regard to drilling, well construction and reservoir
stimulation to maximise yield at the lowest cost. By maintaining an effective balance between the management of costs and risks, we keep our clients’ projects ‘bankable’ and help to build a campaign to maximise the economic potential of an entire field. The bottom line is that we maximise an asset’s value throughout its full life cycle.
