Well Testing and Procurement
JRG Energy assisted the lead technical adviser to Electricite de Djibouti (World Bank-backed) to drill, test, and evaluate geothermal wells. Scope included equipment procurement, operational planning, and technical supervision of well-testing activities, supporting characterisation of Djibouti’s geothermal resource potential.
Technical Risk Review — Due Diligence
JRG Energy formed a multi-disciplinary team of specialised geothermal experts to perform a technical risk review and due diligence for a geothermal project in Ethiopia. The review assessed reservoir characteristics, development risks, and technical uncertainties, providing an independent evaluation to support investment decision-making.
Geology Consulting and On-Job Training
JRG Energy provided geological consulting services for two UNEP ARGeo projects in Uganda and Tanzania. Scope included geological data collection, interpretation, and on-the-job training for local geoscientists, supporting the development of in-country expertise and contributing to regional geothermal resource assessments.
Geothermal Technical Assistance
Through NZ MFAT, JRG Energy provided managerial and technical capacity-building support to the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) in Kenya. Support covered operational guidance, technical expertise, and knowledge transfer to strengthen GDC’s capacity to develop and manage Kenya’s geothermal resources.
Wireline and Well Testing
JRG Energy provided wireline personnel and equipment to enable Mariott Drilling to perform geothermal wireline logging and well testing operations in Ethiopia. Services supported the characterisation of geothermal resources and contributed to the development of Ethiopia’s geothermal energy potential.
IRENA Geothermal Technology Report
JRG Energy, through contractor Witteveen & Bos, produced a geothermal technology report for IRENA. Work included a comprehensive literature review, a stakeholder consultation meeting coordinated with IRENA and IGA, and the preparation of a high-quality report covering the status, trends, and perspectives on geothermal technology globally.
Geothermal Potential Desktop Study
JRG Energy provided Fortescue Future Industries with a geothermal desktop study assessing the geothermal potential of Gabon. The study helped FFI determine whether further investigation was warranted and provided a strategic foundation for decision-making on geothermal energy development in the region.
Asset Management Capacity Building for Drilling Equipment
Funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (NZ MFAT), JRG Energy led a Needs Assessment for drilling equipment asset management across four partner organisations: Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP, Ethiopia), Geothermal Development Company (GDC, Kenya), Tanzania Geothermal Development Company (TGDC, Tanzania), and Office de Développement de l’Energie Géothermique (ODDEG, Djibouti). Deliverables included site […]
