Contact’s innovative formation cleaning project improves upon conventional options for geothermal well maintenance. Their innovation combines data-driven cleaning programmes, advanced laboratory testing, refined candidate well selection and automated execution to deliver a more efficient, cost-effective, and predictable formation cleaning solution. This approach has proven to increase generation revenue and improve operational efficiency. Contact’s collaboration with Western Energy has resulted in a custom-built, automated formation cleaning skid unit, increasing safety and precision. Combining Contact’s upfront analysis and Western’s execution has resulted in an end-to-end formation cleaning service which is already generating strong interest from domestic and international geothermal operators.
