Exploring Extreme Environments to Unlock Subsurface Energy
Geothermal Energy
RockWise applies advanced petrophysics and geomechanics to screen, de-risk, and repurpose existing wells for reliable, baseload geothermal power—focused on sedimentary systems and well re-entry opportunities rather than volcanic EGS plays.
Our petrophysical and geo-mechanical expertise enables efficient screening, risk assessment, and repurposing of existing wells and formations for low-temperature/binary-cycle geothermal systems.
Site Screening & Resource Assessment:
Detailed evaluation of subsurface temperature gradients, porosity/permeability, and overpressure preservation using well logs, BHT data, kriging interpolation, and geomechanical modeling to identify viable geothermal fairways.
Legacy Well Repurposing:
Analysis of idle or abandoned wells for conversion into geothermal producers—assessing mechanical integrity, seal capacity, corrosion potential, and behind-pipe opportunities to minimize new drilling costs and accelerate deployment.
Reservoir & Flow Modeling:
Petrophysics-based simulation of heat extraction, fluid circulation, and long-term performance in formations like the Frio and Wilcox, with focus on high-permeability zones and low-risk injectivity. predictions. Let us help you leverage the power of machine learning.
Gulf Coast Focus:
Specialized knowledge of the Gulf Coast Geothermal Fairway, where legacy O&G infrastructure, proven reservoirs, and temperature hotspots create some of the lowest-risk, highest-potential opportunities for scalable geothermal energy in the U.S.
Why RockWise for Geothermal
With decades of petrophysical leadership in unconventional and conventional reservoirs, combined with mission-critical systems engineering, we bridge subsurface science and operational execution. We deliver defensible resource estimates, mitigate geomechanical and integrity risks early, and maximize the value of existing wells—helping developers, utilities, and operators meet rising baseload demand from AI/data centers and the energy transition efficiently and responsibly.
