CRA provides corrosion-resistant alloy tubulars and expert technical guidance to support the unique material requirements crucial to ensuring life-of-well integrity for your geothermal project.
As the world actively seeks to diversify its energy sources, sustainable geothermal energy production is set to play a pivotal role in shaping our future energy landscape. However, due to the nature of geothermal applications, these projects can face multiple challenges during the well design and construction phase. Factors such as high loads, acidic environments, and geological uncertainties can have a major impact on long-term well integrity if not properly addressed.
Furthermore, as the demand for low-enthalpy domestic heating continues to rise, there is a growing emphasis on safeguarding freshwater aquifers that are in proximity to these wellbores. Additionally, with geothermal operators targeting lower pH environments that can provide higher outputs, there is a heightening need for robust well construction.
These factors are driving the utilization of corrosion-resistant alloy material and tubulars in the approach to both new well design and execution, as well as the remediation of shut-in, non-productive wells. Utilizing corrosion-resistant alloy material and tubulars results in several notable benefits:
CRA’s unique Just-In-Time model utilizes trading and mill manufacturing to offer significantly reduced lead times for premium OCTG and tubulars. This approach allows our customers more time during the well design phase and high-quality solutions when geothermal projects face the unexpected.
Through CRA’s affiliate PipeSearch, we connect customers to a global supply of high-quality, unused pipe and tube (OCTG). This global warehouse utilizes robust data-driven solutions and rigorous quality verification processes to ensure our customers have access to premium OCTG on their timeline.
