Geothermal Well Maintenance and Capacity Building
JRG Energy was contracted by the Government of Montserrat to maintain the integrity of the island’s geothermal wellhead equipment and build in-country operational capacity. The scope covered well maintenance operations, technical support to local staff, and knowledge transfer to ensure the wells remain in a safe and operable condition.
Geothermal Slim Well Testing — Armenia
JRG Energy designed, performed, and analysed the first-ever geothermal welltests in Armenia, combined with geological, resource, and geochemical data collection. The programme provided the first systematic characterisation of Armenia’s geothermal resources, establishing a foundation for future exploration and development.
Well Stimulation and Perforation
JRG Energy served as site manager and supervisor for all third-party contractors performing a multi-stage well stimulation and perforation programme on geothermal wells in New Zealand. The scope covered contractor coordination, operational supervision, HSE management, and technical oversight to ensure safe and effective execution.
Wireline Fishing Operation
JRG Energy was contracted to fish tools lost in a large geothermal production well in the Philippines. The work required specialist downhole fishing expertise to retrieve lost-in-hole equipment, restoring wellbore access and avoiding the need for costly remediation or abandonment.
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.
Coil Tubing Scale Removal Campaign
JRG Energy successfully launched an innovative coil tubing scale removal campaign in the Philippines. The programme addressed scale build-up across the PGPC well portfolio, with JRG providing engineering design, equipment sourcing, operational supervision, and technical expertise to restore and enhance well productivity.
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.
Coil Tubing Scale Removal
JRG Energy worked with Energy Development Corporation (EDC) in the Philippines to execute a coil-tubing scale-removal campaign. The project targeted scale build-up in geothermal production wells, with JRG providing technical expertise and operational support to restore well productivity and extend asset life.
Scale Removal and Production Enhancement
JRG Energy worked with the Philippines Geothermal Production Company to manage a slickline well intervention campaign targeting scale removal and production enhancement. Operations addressed scale deposits restricting production with the aim of restoring and improving well output across the affected well stock.
