Energia Andina, Chile: Phase 2 Exploration

Hot spring characterisation of several geothermal prospects in northern Chile.

Montserrat: Phase 2 Exploration

Geophysical surveys were employed to establish the structure and distribution of potential fluid resource on this volcanic island.  A zone of apparent high permeability was found and is now the focus of a potential high temperature goethermal power development.
