Competitve Advantage

Caldera's advanced GIS targets leads to areas favorable to active geothermal systems that are not detectable through obvious surface manifestations. Our technology evaluates a large number of new geothermal areas quickly and  cost-effectively prior to the use of expensive conventional methods.

• Typical initial round of temperature gradient drilling is $200,000 - $500,000 and takes months to permit
• By  contrast, shallow  temperature surveys delineate  thermal anomalies  at  surface within a week for ~ $8,000

Caldera begins the process of outlining outflow and upwelling zones before a single hole is drilled.

Increased resolution = Increased likelihood of success

Shallow 2 meter temperature surveys better delineate an anomalous target, providing 50 - 500 data points which, prior to drilling provide greater resolution of the target, increasing the probability of success of subsequent drilling programs.

Reduced exploration  costs = lower cost of failure = reduced risk
