Title:
Development and Prototyping of an SFD-GT device for airborne Geothermal Prospecting
Agreement Number:
975485
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 1, 2021 - Nov 30, 2021
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.
