Geothermal Energy Management System (CeraPhi)

The client, a leading geothermal solutions company in the UK, manages extensive well data and conducts feasibility studies for sustainable energy projects.

They required a comprehensive platform named “Geothermal Energy Management System (GEMS)” to simplify the creation, analysis, and management of geothermal projects. The system needed to integrate multiple modules into a single solution, enabling users to calculate CAPEX, OPEX, emissions, New and Repurposed well data through an intuitive dashboard. The vision was to build a robust and scalable platform that could process large datasets, map geothermal wells, run sensitivity analyses, and deliver accurate emission and economic calculators.

The client faced several challenges while managing geothermal projects:

• Lack of a centralized platform to store and analyze well data.
• Difficulty in conducting sensitivity analysis and economic feasibility studies for new and repurposed wells.
• Absence of an emission calculator for comparing geothermal output against counterfactual energy sources.
• Limited tools for CAPEX and OPEX calculation.
• No unified way to manage both operating and potential projects.
• Requirement of customized dashboards with geological layers, well maps, and thermodynamic outputs.

Adequate Infosoft built a Java-based web application integrating multiple modules to address the client’s needs. The solution included:

• Create Geothermal Project Module: Store general and well-specific data for new and repurposed projects.
• CAPEX/OPEX Module: Detailed financial modeling with discount cash flow and sensitivity analysis.
• Emission Calculator: Compare GHG emissions with counterfactual energy sources, including oil and gas baselines.
• Well Mapper: Visualize geothermal wells with multiple map backgrounds, geological layers, and heat mapping.
• Repurposed Well Management: Tools to analyze and manage thermodynamic outputs from existing wells.
• Dashboard: Real-time analytics with project lifetime emissions, geographical insights, and economic viability.
• Project Management: Separate areas for operating projects and potential projects for future research.

• Create and manage geothermal projects with complete datasets.
• CAPEX and OPEX calculations for financial feasibility.
• Sensitivity analysis and counterfactual comparisons.
• Emission calculator with GHG benchmarking.
• Interactive well mapper with multiple views and filters.
• Repurposed well analysis with thermodynamic output integration.
• Export outputs in both Word and PDF formats.
• Role-based access for secure project handling.

• Backend: Java
• Frontend: Angular
• Database: MySQL
• Containerization: Docker
• Cloud: AWS
• Visualization & Analytics: Custom dashboards and charts

The implementation of the Geothermal Energy Management System transformed the client’s geothermal project operations.

• Increased efficiency in project feasibility studies by 40%.
• Reduced manual calculations with automated CAPEX/OPEX modules.
• Enhanced decision-making through accurate emission and sensitivity analysis.
• Improved visibility of global projects via interactive well maps.
• Streamlined management of repurposed wells, helping optimize thermal output.

This solution empowered the client to make data-driven decisions, accelerate project development, and contribute towards sustainable energy goals.
