GEOTHERMAL MONITORING
OptaSense is uniquely positioned to provide on-demand service or full turnkey, permanent monitoring system solutions for wellbore diagnostics on geothermal assets. With distributed fiber optic technology of DAS and DTS, we can monitor and provide actionable answers for the assessment of a new resource or monitor production and injection activities under current operation. We see benefit for operators looking to reduce incremental costs of well remediation and maintain higher levels of quality heat production from their resource.
Conventional Geothermal Resources
