  1. TIG (Technical Interest Group) - 10 of theAustralian Geothermal Energy Group (AGEG) Des FitzGerald, Chloé Bonet & Helen Gibson

  2. Welcome … do we feel the energy?

  3. Themes for this year’s workshop • Induced micro-seismicity • Geophysical technologies for geothermal • Cloud computing for 3D analysis of MT data • Flow simulation methods and case studies

  4. Retrospective view TIG-10 – the past 3 years • The original charter of TIG-10? • What’s been achieved? • Has this benefitted members & the geothermal community? TIG-10 – next 3 years • Status of the members list (back of the handout) • Set a rough agenda: meetings and planned actions • Time for a leadership change?

  5. Why a TIG-10: “Innovative Technologies for Geothermal Exploration”? • In response to industry needs via the AGEG membership • Because Australia has a reputation for developing innovative resource exploration technologies (and there is every chance to continue this for Geothermal- EGS)

  6. Original charter: TIG-10 The need to cut risk, & increase knowledge of heat flow & geology prior to the first deep drilling commitment Innovative Exploration Technologies are required to map-out • location of heat anomalies • likely fracture networks, stratigraphic plays, aquifers • nature of lithologies (source, reservoirs & thermal blankets) • Handle micro-seismic event records: thus gain knowledge With special regard for EGS

  7. TIG-10 addresses a range of topics: • Remote sensing of surface heat (eg., bolometer) • A new thermal prospectivity map of Australia • Addressing geological uncertainty (potential field geophysics / geostatistics) • Correct adaptation of rock properties data • Develop a tool-kit for appropriate use & extrapolation of physical properties data (for use in accurate preliminary geology, geophysical and heat flow modelling)

  8. Annual TIG-10 Workshops • Inaugural workshop: held at Uni of Adelaide, 6th Nov 2008. • 2nd workshop: held Brighton Yacht Club, 27th Nov 2009. • 3rd workshop: returned to Adelaide ! (15th Nov 2010) All talks have been retained from both previous workshops – still publically available The same will apply with today’s talks (unless requested otherwise)

  9. Public access to past workshop PowerPoints and agendas: • ftp://ftp2.dfa.com.au/geomodeller/userMeetingsandWorkshops/

  10. Forward view TIG-10 – the past 3 years • The original charter of TIG-10? • What’s been achieved? • Has this benefitted members & the geothermal community? TIG-10 – next 3 years • Status of the members list (back of the handout) • Set a rough agenda: meetings and planned actions • Time for a leadership change?

  11. TIG-10 Membership list • Currently: 53 members • See list (back of today’s handout) • Please provide Helen Gibson (Intrepid) or Alex Long (PIRSA) with updated details, or new nominated members names
