Our technology

InSituMetrix addresses the challenge of unreliable underground stress measurements in geo-energy projects. Our cutting-edge technology provides precise, comprehensive insights into underground stress at significant depths, including kilometers deep. This innovation reduces risks and enhances the profitability of geo-energy projects, offering a technical solution far superior to those currently available.

Understanding the challenges in Geo-energy projects

Geo-energy initiatives face a critical challenge: a limited and unreliable understanding of the underground stress state. This uncertainty leads to several serious risks:

- Induced seismicity

- Unexpected fractures and fracture patterns

- Wellbore instabilities

These issues compel operators to make conservative operational decisions, such as reducing injection pressures in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS), and Deep Geothermal Energy projects. While these measures are intended to mitigate risks, they result in

- Underutilization of reservoirs, thereby impacting profitability and efficiency.
