Geothermal
Surveys
Searching for Geothermal Reservoirs
Actually searching for the optimum collecting spot of geothermal reservoirs : we don't aim at just reaching the target ...we aim at reaching the center of target.
Hydrothermal
Surveys
Finding Hot Springs for Balneotherapy
Even without surface manifestation, as not all upward hydrothermal flow reach the surface (they mostly hit an aquifer before). And even if there is surface manifestation, finding a good drilling spot is not straightforward with legacy geophysics, whereas it is for us.
Hydromineral
Surveys
Locating the optimal collecting spot for mineral water extraction
Mineral water bearing sites have two key characteristics : they are exempt from pollution and they are fed by an hydrothermal upward flow... therefore they also produce an outgoing flow. The leakage point[s] (called exurgence) of these aquifers are the optimal collecting spot[s] for mineral water extraction.
Other
Hydrogeological
Surveys
Oil Recovery, groundwater quality sampling and more...
Oil recovery by retro-injection of water is a delicate operation: a lot of water can be spilled underground without much oil being recovered. Another example is the assessment of groundwater pollution for which the flow rate and the underground travel distance of pollutants can vary immensely, even for groundwater separated by tiny distances.
Research
Field :
Angiogeology
We developed, from scratch, a new branch of hydrogeology, called angiogeology. Angiogeology is the conceptual framework that we make evolve both with our geophysical search technology and with our 3-D mapping technique of groundwater flows.
Angiogeology revolutionizes the understanding of groundwater hydrodynamics and makes geophysical search for groundwater much more:
- efficacious : we meet the objectives set (assuming they are "reasonable")
- efficient : we deliver results quickly and we strive for a win-win end-result with the operator exploiting the groundwater resource.
- effective : we achieve results (whenever there is a possibility to).
Upward
Groundwater
Flows
We search for upward groundwater flow and not for "water deposit" in the form of a reservoir, an aquifer or a phreatic zone.
Concentrated Flows
Through
Natural Conduits
Only concentrated flows through natural conduits can be efficiently and sustainably drawn.
Drawing groundwater
at the very best spot
The very best spot to draw groundwater from is the natural leakage point of an aquifer (called exurgence).
Getting wells
to live much longer
By drawing groundwater from their natural flow - and not drawing more than what the natural flow produces (i.e. not emptying a "static" water deposit integrated to that flow) - we get the purest possible water that will not clog the well.
