The case study requested is focused on the application of either the ‘Australian Geothermal Reporting Code’ or the ‘Canadian Geothermal Code for Public Reporting’ to a geothermal resource/reserve assessment of a specific country/region.

A recent press release by the IGA and the World Bank requests a case study focused on the application of either the ‘Australian Geothermal Reporting Code’ or the ‘Canadian Geothermal Code for Public Reporting’ to a geothermal resource/reserve assessment of a specific country/region.

See the link at the bottom of the document for full details. This task is part of the R&R Committee work program being funded by the World Bank. The deadline for applications is Monday 24th November 2014. Please contact Graeme Beardsmore (graeme.beardsmore@hotdryrocks.com) or Horst Rüter (rueter@harbourdom.de) at the earliest opportunity if you are thinking to apply.

The Australian and Canadian ‘Geothermal Reporting Codes’ are existing, very similar, codified schemes for reporting geothermal resources and reserves. While initially developed to regulate the pubic reporting of geothermal companies in the two relevant jurisdictions, the documents might be adopted for use in other parts of the world. The IGA wishes to prepare a ‘code-compliant’ report on the geothermal potential of an actual country or region, along with an accompanying set of notes highlighting and explaining the key features of the report, to act as a public example of the application of the code(s) in a real-world situation. When complete, the report will be posted on the IGA website for public download.

The IGA regrets that the funding for this project precludes the completion of a new resource assessment ‘from scratch’. Rather, the project suits the adaptation of an existing resource assessment for a country or region to the terminology and requirements of one of the geothermal reporting codes. To that end, the successful consultant(s) will be expected to demonstrate the following:

  • Thorough familiarity, ideally through previous application, with one or other of the geothermal reporting codes;
  • Familiarity, ideally through a previous project, with the geothermal potential of a specific country or region with resources at different stages of assessment and development;
  • Access to all relevant information, and permission to release the information into the public domain (if it is not already in the public domain);
  • Time and resources available to complete the project by the due date and for the set fee;
  • Fluent written English.
