Geothermal Energy Visualization

To meet the modern demand for energy consumption, many oil and gas companies are searching for ways to transition and expand quickly and efficiently from traditional energy sources to renewable energy options such as geothermal.

But how can companies maximize time, effort, and profitability in order to make this transition feasible?

Eliminate the Guesswork

“Without a good understanding of the geology of a prospect area, exploration is merely guesswork. Three-dimensional geological models are the foundation of geothermal exploration and the interpretation of geochemical and geophysical signatures of geothermal systems.”
— A History of Geothermal Energy Research and Development in the United States | Exploration

See Inside Your Reservoir

Whether you build a new geothermal plant from scratch or repurpose an existing well, each phase of the project requires gathering a large amount of data and analyzing it in context. From exploration to development, companies must be able to visualize their subsurface data at each stage in the lifecycle of a geothermal power plant to make smarter business decisions around feasibility, drilling, and operations.

For developers and product owners building software dedicated to geothermal energy, INT provides the visualization technology to empower geoscientists, drillers, and operators with the right visualizations to make key decisions, fast.

Deliver Visualization in Your Geothermal Application

Augment your visualization with customizable, domain-specific libraries with GeoToolkit or leverage IVAAP, INT’s industry-leading domain visualization platform.

INT offers two options to choose from:

GeoToolkit

HTML5 libraries and toolkit for geoscience data visualization

Features

  • Key visualization library: display well logs, seismic 2D/3D, heatmap, wellbore schematics
  • Build a visualization platform or incorporate domain visuals into existing applications
  • Works with Front-end Subsurface technology
  • Leverage APIs with libraries and SDK to customize visuals
  • More than 160 tutorials
  • Available in JavaScript, Angular, and React

Why Choose GeoToolkit?

Developers can:

  • Build subsurface exploration, petrophysical analysis, or data management applications with single or multi-well displays.
  • Embed visualization into an existing application.
  • Provide visualization 10x faster than building from scratch.

 

IVAAP

Comprehensive data visualization platform for the cloud

Features

  • All of the features of GeoToolkit, PLUS
  • Data source connectors to access data without moving it
  • Front-end client with dashboards, templates, and search capabilities
  • Back-end SDK extensible to add standard or custom connectors
  • Standard connectors to cloud providers: AWS, Azure, IBM, GCP
  • Standard connectors to OSDU, PPDM, WITSML

Why Choose IVAAP?

  • No need to rebuild all data source connectors and the front-end client UI from scratch
  • Can focus on the workflow aspect of the application versus the visualization using out-of-the-box capabilities
  • Data aggregation and co-visualization in one dashboard without moving data
  • Build faster, deliver cheaper your application (less code to create)
