Invited Talk 1-1
Pathways for geothermal development
Carolyn Seto (S&P Global Commodity Insights)
Copyright 2022, held jointly by the Japan Formation Evaluation Society (JFES) and the submitting authors. This paper was prepared for the JFES 27nd Annual
Symposium held from September 14-15, 2022.

ABSTRACTWith the expanding electrification of the energy sector as well as increasing pressure todecarbonize power industry, geothermal energy is experiencing a renewed interest. While
this technology has a long history of deployment, it remains limited in application, with
only a fraction of the global geothermal resource being developed. Advancements in newtechnology are leading to a renewed interest in geothermal energy. What are the barriers
to widespread deployment? How can technology and innovation support increased
adoption? What new commercial models will arise, and who is best positioned to capture
them?

Symposium held from September 14-15, 2022.

ABSTRACTAny development, including geothermal development, may give impact to the local environment. However, it
may be minimized by technology and innovative ideas. Even with a risk of impact, it worth developing theresources if there exists larger merit, such as local welfare and protection of global environment.
Geothermal development has lots of merit, such as electricity and hot water supply, possibility of new business,
contribution to energy security, and reduction of CO 2 emission. Studies to minimize environmental impact bygeothermal energy development has been done from many different aspects, from toxic gas emission, induced
seismicity, and hydraulic impact to adjacent aquifers. Possible impact to surrounding hot spring aquifer bygeothermal development, which is a big issue in Japan, is focused and geochemical method to avoid suchimpact will be introduced in this paper.
Hydraulic relationship between geothermal reservoir and hot spring aquifer is categorized into five types byshielding ability of caprock between geothermal reservoir and hot spring aquifer. Type 1 is an identical reservoir.
Type 2 is Water supply, Type 3 is steam supply and Type 4 is heat conduction from a deep reservoir to hot
spring aquifer. Type 5 is independent systems. Possible impact by geothermal fluid extraction differs according
to such types: flow rate decline for Types 1 and 2, chemical component change for Type 3 and temperaturedecline for Type 4. Types 1-5 can be roughly identified by geochemical survey of the hot spring fluid. Thus,
possible impact should be investigated in advance of development and adequate monitoring should be
conducted.

Invited Talk 3-2
Development of the first Commercial 400°C TPS Logging Tooland Downhole pH Sensor
Paul von Hirtz (Thermochem, Inc.)
Copyright 2022, held jointly by the Japan Formation Evaluation Society (JFES) and the submitting authors. This paper was prepared for the JFES 27nd Annual
Symposium held from September 14-15, 2022.

ABSTRACT
Thermochem has developed a memory TPS (Temperature, Pressure, Spinner) logging tool to that can be
deployed under extreme well conditions, far exceeding conventional logging tool capabilities. The tool has
been tested under simulated wellbore conditions up to 400°C. A complete range of simulated welltemperature tests have been performed to enable the maximum safe time-in-well to be calculated based on thetemperature profile of the well to be logged. An integrated approach, utilizing a high-performance heat shield,
combined with internal heat-sinking, high-temperature electronics and battery has allowed us to meet theaggressive goal of a 400°C logging tool.
In a parallel research effort, Thermochem, in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories, is developing
High-temperature high-pressure (HTHP) electrodes selectively sensitive to hydrogen (H +) ions. This
technology has already demonstrated in representative geothermal environments up to 225°C and 100 bar. The
goal is to develop the prototype pH and reference electrode sensors into a commercial product incorporated
into an existing two-phase downhole sampling tool operable up to 300°C and 350 bar.

Geothermal Development between Japan and Indonesia
Lingkan Finna Christi (INPEX Corporation)
Copyright 2022, held jointly by the Japan Formation Evaluation Society (JFES) and the submitting authors. This paper was prepared for the JFES 27th Annual
Symposium held from September 14-15, 2022.

ABSTRACT
Located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan and Indonesia have one thing in common with regard to theabundance of volcanic coming concurrently with its potencies and hazard risks. This -by the nature- geographic
position has brought both countries to the top three of geothermal resource richest country in the world. Moving
forward with energy transition trend aiming for carbon neutral in 2050 for Japan followed by Indonesia in 2060,
geothermal energy is playing a significant role as an alternative energy to secure the demand of power
generation from renewable sector. Carrying out this big vision, as energy developer company, reinforcing
strategy to achieve this goal is a must and INPEX is the one that has been reflecting this goal to the company’s
2022 vision. Accordingly, other than Japan, Indonesia is the only country where geothermal has become oneof the core businesses area along side with its oil and gas sector. Challenges in maturating geothermal businessfrom exploration all the way to production from various project stages are the key points of establishing synergyof geothermal development in both countries. In this presentation, we discuss about how we create synergy ofdeveloping geothermal, filling the cultural gap, overcoming the challenges as well as gaining lesson learned to
excel in each stage of project development.

Invited Talk 4-2
Current status of research on supercritical geothermal power generationin Japan(Invited) Dr. Hiroshi Asanuma (AIST)
Copyright 2022, held jointly by the Japan Formation Evaluation Society (JFES) and the submitting authors. This paper was prepared for the JFES 27th Annual
Symposium held from September 14-15, 2022.

ABSTRACT
Nature of geothermal resources that rate of emission of CO2 is one of the lowest among all the energy sources
is significantly attractive for the counties with geothermal manifestation such as volcanic activities Japanesescientists have estimated that the Japanese nationwide potential of “Supercritical Geothermal Resources”,
which has an origin in the subduction of oceanic plates, reaches hundreds GWs from distribution of old
volcanos and calderas. Power generation using supercritical geothermal resources, which temperature range is
400 to 500 deg-C and the depth is expected to be less than several kilometers in Japan, (supercritical geothermal
power generation) in Japan can significantly contribute to energy security and reduction of emission of CO2.
However, there are a lot of scientific unknowns about nature, especially in rock-mechanical and geochemical
behavior under supercritical conditions. We also need technological breakthroughs, because temperature andpressure conditions in the supercritical geothermal systems are far beyond the current technological limitations,and experiences in the foregoing ultra-high temperature geothermal drillings suggest that the presence of acidic
geothermal fluid should be expected. The Japanese government has identified supercritical geothermal power
generation as one of the key technologies to establish a “Carbon-Free Society in 2050”, and is funding projects
for detailed site surveys and well design in the most promising area in northeast Japan and Kyushu as shownin this presentation.
