APPROACH AND PROCESS
De-risking and reliability
From a technical standpoint
We approach your project with technical and geoscientific expertise for the greatest probability of success.
Basically, the team dedicated to your project collects, acquires, interprets and models all the geoscientific data (geological, geochemical and geophysical) required for it to be a success.

- Synthesis of subsurface data
- Design of programs to improve subsurface knowledge
- Preparation of geoscientific data acquisition programs (geology, geochemistry, passive and active onshore and offshore geophysics)
- Field campaigns
- Advanced data processing and interpretation
- Exploration data integration and synthesis
- Design of conceptual reservoir models
- Creation of 3D geological models
- Dynamic modeling (hydrodynamic and thermal) and simulation of operating scenarios
- Drawing of field development plans
- …
To achieve these objectives, CFG Géothermal relies on the best available techniques from the water and/or oil & gas industries.
From an economic standpoint
With a constant awareness of the energy market, and in particular the drilling and associated services market, CFG Géothermal can help you draw up your business plan. With a continuous focus on quality and cost control, we share with you a common goal: to produce low-carbon, economically competitive energy.

- Financial evaluation
- Calculation of CAPEX for subsurface works
- Calculation of OPEX (consumables, services, major maintenance, renewal)
- Assessment of the project economic performance and contribution to IRR calculations
- Identification of financial risks
- Setting up insurance coverage (guarantee funds, insurance, etc.)
- Support for subsidies, investment grants, investment funds, etc.
- …
From a regulatory standpoint
In France and in many other countries, geothermal resources are considered as mining resources. Inadequate integration of the regulatory context can lead to unplanned procedures and delays, resulting in additional costs that affect the project profitability.
Through our support, CFG Géothermal ensures your project complies with the relevant regulations, in particular those related to water protection and the environment, the mining code and all other regulations applicable in France and abroad.

- Mining permits :
- Exploration permit
- Exclusive exploration permits
- Operating license
- Lease applications
- Environmental permits
- Mining works permit
- Extension, change, transfer, farmout
- Abandonment and discharge
