Development and Prototyping of an SFD-GT device for airborne Geothermal Prospecting
EF 2021-22 · 2021-07-01
Résumé
The Stress Field Detection - SFD® technology was developed and deployed worldwide for hydrocarbon prospecting to demarcate geological features that manifest via subsurface density distribution and stress distribution/orientation such as, inter alia, faults, fractures and formation porosity/permeability. The presence of these features, albeit at different spatial scales versus hydrocarbon prospecting, would render an area conducive for geothermal exploration. This project is designed to extend the application of the SFD® technology to geothermal prospecting, hereinafter referred to as SFD-GT.

Description
The Stress Field Detection - SFD® technology was developed and deployed worldwide for hydrocarbon prospecting to demarcate geological features that manifest via subsurface density distribution and stress distribution/orientation such as, inter alia, faults, fractures and formation porosity/permeability. The presence of these features, albeit at different spatial scales versus hydrocarbon prospecting, would render an area conducive for geothermal exploration. This project is designed to extend the application of the SFD® technology to geothermal prospecting, hereinafter referred to as SFD-GT.
Description (French)
La technologie Stress Field Detection - SFD® a été développée et déployée dans le monde entier pour la prospection d'hydrocarbures afin de délimiter les caractéristiques géologiques qui se manifestent par la distribution de la densité de la sous-surface et la distribution/orientation des contraintes, comme, entre autres, les failles, les fractures et la porosité/perméabilité des formations. La présence de ces caractéristiques, bien qu'à des échelles spatiales différentes de celles de la prospection des hydrocarbures, rendrait une zone propice à l'exploration géothermique. Ce projet vise à étendre l'application de la technologie SFD® à la prospection géothermique, ci-après dénommée SFD-GT.
