Abstract
Funded through the EC-Horizon 2020 program, the GeoWell research project addresses various aspects of new and enhanced technology for the design and operation of high-temperature geothermal wells. These include cement slurry design, casting material selection, casings coupling, downhole temperature, and strain measurements in real time using fiber optic technologies, as well as novel methods for risk assessment concerning well planning, design and operation of geothermal wells. The research project focuses on both conventional and geothermal production wells and deeper wells, where the pressure is as high as 150 bar and temperatures can exceed 400°C. The technologies under development and material candidates are tested under simulated conditions in laboratories and partly in-situ existing geothermal environment.
