Webinar - Infrared Spectroscopy Applications for Geothermal Exploration & Reservoir Characterization

This webinar by Dr. Pooja Sheevam, highlights the growing role of infrared spectroscopy, particularly shortwave (SWIR) and longwave (LWIR) ranges, in identifying mineralogical alterations associated with geothermal systems. By leveraging unique absorption features of minerals, spectroscopy enables rapid, non-destructive, and cost-effective analysis of core samples, outcrops, and remote sensing data. Case studies from Hawaii, Lanai, Gabbs Valley (NV), and the Geysers (CA) illustrate its effectiveness in mapping alteration minerals such as clays, carbonates, sulfates, zeolites, chlorite, and epidote, which serve as indicators of geothermal fluid interactions and subsurface temperature conditions. The findings underscore spectroscopy’s value in exploration, drilling, and reservoir characterization, especially when conventional datasets are limited, making it an increasingly relevant tool for advancing geothermal resource development. #Webinar #Geothermal #Spectroscopy #Infrared #RenewableEnergy #exploration
