A new tool for screening geothermal lithium resources

13.04.2022

Global geoscience technology company CGG has released a new Lithium Brine Screening study to support the search for new sources of this critical energy transition element.

The global study, supported by industry funding and available for license, provides a data-rich screening tool to enable explorers, operators, investors and extraction technology companies to discover, evaluate and compare lithium brine opportunities.

The Lithium Brine Screening study and supporting primary data is delivered though CGG’s «GeoVerse» platform and leverages the company’s extensive Earth Data Library. Its experts have developed a proprietary methodology to evaluate more than 250,000 datapoints and 27,000 lithium measurements to create a comprehensive and consistent water chemistry database, supplemented by key engineering and geochemical characteristics, to help inform project development and investment decisions.

Earlier this year, CGG also announced the release of a Geothermal Resource Assessment study on the platform. This study helps in identifying areas for potential geothermal development using a suite of subsurface and surface exploration data. The study and supporting primary data allows subscribers to interrogate data in an interactive environment to address key geothermal system questions.
