            DDS
            " DEEP DIRECTIVITY SYSTEMS "


          The Revolution on the Geothermal Exploration

Geoneurale / Petrophysic-Consultants developed a new technology,the key for the future of the renewable energy.
DDS is a new scientific innovation. Thanks to this technology containing the last developments in the Geophysics, Petrophysics and Drilling Technology every town in the world can develop its own deep geothermal projects, power plants and heating systems.
A method for the universal development of geothermal projects not only in high geothermal gradient and favourable areas but in every part of the world.
With DDS the door to the future of the clean renewable energies is open.

Petrophysic-Consultants develops and supervises the operative phase of DDS projects.

Advantages of the DDS technology :

 

1.   DDS is a standard method and a final turnkey product.

2.  DDS is a final product and standard for every kind of formation.

3.   DDS can be applied to old oil wells in depleted reservoirs to develop a

      geothermal project, saving drilling costs, adding value to old projects.

4.   DDS can be applied to reactivate failed geothermal projects using the old wells

      and saving the drilling costs to produce a new successful geothermal project.

5.   DDS can be theoretically planned for the desired efficiency and electrical power

      There is no theoretical limit to the maximal efficiency and output of the method.

6.   DDS can be planned to for a working cycles of 10, 100, or more years. There is no

      theoretical limit for the efficiency and life time of a project.

7.   DDS is ideal for the joint development in a cooperation between 2 , 3 or more

       bordering towns.

8.   DDS can be applied in every formation except  the exceptional presence of

      evaporites.

9.   DDS can be applied in every region of the world.

10. DDS can be expecially applied in volcanic areas with caution on the choice

      of the target area, reaching the maximum efficiency in the power production.

11. DDS can be both used for power production or for hot water/heathing systems.

12. DDS ensure the maximal efficiency compared with other geothermal projects.

13.  DDS ensure the minimum risk compared with other geothermal methods.

 

 

The Oil Exploration Industry needs more Intellectual Workforce

 

With the catastrophe of the 22 April 2010 became evident that the conditions how the oil industry operates need a urgent and radical change. This series of significant mistakes shows that the oil exploration industry is faced with enormous problems.

Too little personnel have to solve too many problems in the minimum amount of time.

Engineers and scientists work steadily under pressure to take decisions and to take actions.

 

As geoscientists we know that small mistakes belong to the daily routine. In the geophysical sciences we directly experience everyday the statistical uncertainty which is intrinsic in the interaction between man and nature. 

It is common practice in the remote sensing measurements, seismic acquisition and petrophysical log measurements to try and quantify parallel with each measurement its error variance both in the measurement magnitude and in its spatial definition.

All this reminds us that we are far from perfection.

Just a small parallelism to show that this catastrophe could have been avoided.

 

Any drilling engineer would recognize that good sense has been lost.  Saving  time for profit this time has been fatal. 

On the best hypothesis that the oil pollution will remain localized and not be transported through the Atlantic currents to West Europe, Africa and Greenland, this tragedy will cost billions and billions and billions of dollars.

Millions of times more than increasing one hundred times the intellectual workforce in each oil company worldwide: Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, Geostatistical Analysts, Modeling Specialists, Reservoir Engineers Drilling Engineers, Safety Specialists and so on. 

Decisions can not be left to a single person, they have to be a collegial event. 

Knowledge must be shared and integrated and finally society must be aware of the cost of energy.

The cost of Safety has to be included.

The events in the earth´s history are unique and unrepeatable and there is no price for a lost nature.

Society´s sensitivity towards energy costs has to be upgraded.

 

IT IS THE ENERGY THAT WE PRODUCE THAT DRIVES AND SUSTAINS THE HUMAN CIVILIZATION IN ALL ITS SECTORS.

NEW RELEASE OF FRACA 4.1 2006

Beicip-Franlab, Beicip Inc. and IFPmec are pleased to announce the imminent release of FRACA 4.1
NEW IN 4.1
- Deterministic fracture sets: for creating fractures/faults with specific properties at wells or anywhere

  in the field

- Single-media scale-up and output for use in single-media dynamic simulation with a single phase

This even more powerful FRACA version provides users with the ability to handle all the fractures present in a reservoir:
natural, stimulation and induced.
The software will be available for Linux, Windows and Sun Microsystems Operating systems.
