Carlo Cariaga 1 May 2023

Join this webinar with Dr. Kate Lewis & Tom Fleure who will be presenting a new seismic survey technology for permeability and porosity mapping in geothermal.

As part of the regular Focus on Geothermal webinar series, a partnership between ThinkGeoEnergy and Enerchange, we are proud to host Dr. Kate Lewis and Tom Fleure representing GeoFlow Imaging Ltd. The webinar will cover the new seismic survey technology developed by GeoFlow Imaging for the mapping of permeability and porosity in geothermal systems.

Date: 5 May 2023

Time: 2:00 PM CEST

The newly developed seismic survey technology relies on downhole seismic sourcing using a chemically inert, heat-stable, rapid-burn propellant that emits seismic waves at subsonic velocities from within the wellbore. A surface seismic array measures the seismic velocity structure, thus providing data for generating a local crustal velocity model. Field trials of this technology will be done in Indonesia following the signing of an MOU with PT Geo Dipa Energi and Gadjah Mada University.

Dr. Kate Lewis is a Geoscientist and a core part of GeoFlow Imaging’s Science Team. Kate has a Masters of Volcanology and Geology from the University of Michigan, and a PhD of Geological and Earth Sciences / Geophysics from Duke University. Kate has global experience in multiple geothermal regions from her time working at the Institute of Earth Science and Engineering (IESE) which was a part of the University of Auckland where she worked on innovative solutions for de-risking geothermal energy. GFI’s core science was born out of IESE and the team also included Dr Peter Malin, and GFI’s co-founder Dr Peter Leary.

Tom Fleure is the CEO of Ambient Reservoir Monitoring Inc., which he co-founded in 2017.  Tom received a BSc degree in Geophysical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in 1982. With more than 42 years of global experience in the seismic industry, Tom Fleure has a broad knowledge of geophysics ranging from field parameter testing to signal processing.  His areas of expertise and research include 3D design, advanced vibroseis technique including sweep design, and he is currently focused on Fracture Seismic methodology and applications.
