How a geothermal developer narrows site selection from satellite imagery to a shortlist
Fervo Energy's site selection brings satellite imagery, well records and permitting data together. The result is a shortlist an engineer can defend to an investment committee.
Site selection draws on different kinds of evidence. Imagery, well records and permitting data all contribute to the assessment.
The system brings the site's evidence together, so the work leads to a shortlist that supports the engineer's assessment and the investment committee discussion.
“Fervo Energy's shortlist is built from satellite imagery, well records and permitting data that used to sit apart.”
Building the system
A useful shortlist needs supporting evidence that the engineer can examine and explain.
The output is a shortlist for an engineer to defend to an investment committee, not a decision made for them.
