Our Partners

In addition to Coalition Members, our partners are an essential part of the work we do.

Teverra

Teverra’s role in this project as project lead is to complete a resource technical assessment and thermal energy network preliminary design as well as manage the entire project. The resource assessment involves compiling and integrating existing data of the Rico geothermal system. This data will be used to build a conceptual 3D geologic model which will aid in a geothermal resource estimate for Rico. With a better understanding of the subsurface geothermal resource, well spot locations can be identified for optimal development and potential thermal energy will be estimated.

A complete resource risk assessment will be completed in conjunction with the resource technical assessment. This will include a resource uncertainty analysis to identify limitations of the scientific and technical knowledge and evaluating their implications for scientific conclusions. Quantifying the uncertainty in the resource model will also aid in knowing what additional data is needed to add certainty. An environmental risk assessment will be conducted to identify and assess potential risks, and then put plans in place to mitigate potential environmental impacts of the proposed project.
