Using selected geological data, Green Energy has developed the Green Energy Exploration Navigator (GREEN). This gives Green Energy a state-of-the-art modelling tool that makes choosing the best possible geothermal site a lot easier and more effective than before.

For precise site inspection, Green Energy has purchased the data a number of major oil companies gathered during their oil and gas exploration projects. The data contains the results of two-dimensional seismic explorations and test wells. Green Energy has fed this data into state-of-the-art software to produce model calculations that give us essential initial orientation in the ground.

To find the exact position for the power plants and, most importantly, to develop an economically feasible drilling strategy, we examine the ground conditions with a geological "magnifying glass": 3-D seismic imaging. Two dimensional seismic data only provides information along a line, while 3-D seismic imaging – combined with mathematical simulation models – provides high resolution, three-dimensional images of underground cubes. The simulation models also let us take a look into the future: The geologists place the power plant in the model at a favourable position and then simulate what happens in the ground when the plant is in operation.
