Independent Technical Review, Conceptual Model Update & Well Targeting for a Geothermal Drilling Campaign

Consulting

Project Overview

A geothermal developer engaged Look Up to provide geoscientific support ahead of a multi-well drilling
campaign. The scope focused on reviewing existing subsurface and drilling information, strengthening the
geothermal conceptual model, and producing recommendations for the next wells.

The work was structured to prioritise the highest-impact decisions under time constraints: ensuring the technical
basis was robust, uncertainties were explicit, and future drilling targets were selected with the greatest chance
of success.

The Challenge

Early-stage geothermal developments often contain valuable data spread
across multiple sources, interpretations, and legacy models. Before
committing to additional wells, the project required:

  • Confidence that existing data and interpretations were quality-controlled and internally consistent
  • An updated conceptual model that reflected the most current
    understanding
  • Clear, defensible recommendations for where and how to drill next
  • A practical view of key risks to success and how to mitigate them
  • Delivery within a compressed timeline, without sacrificing rigour

Outcome

  1. Improved confidence in the conceptual model
  2. Clearer well targeting rationale for upcoming wells
  3. Transparent understanding of subsurface uncertainty and execution risk

improvWe delivered a structured Technical Review and Recommendations (TRR) programme, designed to rapidlyimprove decision confidence and enable next-stage drilling planning.​

Our work included:​

  • A thorough due diligence review of available geoscientific and drilling datasets​
  • Identification of key gaps, uncertainties, and interpretation risks impacting well success​
  • An updated geothermal conceptual model integrating subsurface evidence and operational learnings​
  • Prioritised recommendations for the next wells, including targets, trajectory intent, and risk considerations​
  • Clear communication of assumptions and sensitivities to support stakeholder alignment​

Where relevant, we also provided guidance on optional next-step activities such as further geoscientificstudies, reservoir modelling readiness, and ongoing advisory support through drilling.​
