Teverra Presented Full-Cycle Geothermal Well Repurposing Workflow at ARMA 2026

Teverra participated in the ARMA 2026 Workshop on Repurposing Existing Oil and Gas Wells for Geothermal Applications, held on June 21, 2026, during the 60th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium in Tucson, Arizona.

During the workshop, Julian Yao represented Teverra and delivered a presentation titled “From Resource Assessment, Well Integrity, to Financial Analysis: A Full-Cycle Screening Workflow for Oil-Gas to Geothermal Well Repurposing.”

The presentation highlighted Teverra’s experience in evaluating existing oil and gas wells for potential geothermal applications. Using an offshore Gulf of Mexico case study, the presentation demonstrated how technical, operational, and financial considerations were integrated into a customized screening workflow.

Key lessons included:

Limited data was common during early-stage screening.

High-level assessments remained possible by combining publicly available information with specialized technical expertise.

Customized, fit-for-purpose workflows were essential for evaluating different repurposing opportunities.

Sensitivity analysis provided valuable decision support when projects involved significant uncertainty.

The workshop brought together industry professionals, researchers, and technical specialists to discuss advances in well screening, integrity assessment, geothermal system design, energy storage, district heating, power generation, and other approaches for repurposing oil and gas infrastructure.

Teverra was pleased to contribute to the technical discussions and to share its multidisciplinary approach to identifying practical and economically viable geothermal opportunities.
