Success of Geothermal Wells: A Global Study (International Finance Corporation)
This report (PDF) presents an analysis of a database of global geothermal drilling success. The database, compiled by the
International Finance Corporation (IFC), covers geothermal fields that together supply power to 71 percent of the world’s installed geothermal electricity generating capacity, making it the largest database of its kind.
This report analyzes that data to gain a better understanding of the probability of drilling a successful well, and the factors that influence such success, which will be of interest to geothermal developers, and to financiers engaged in the risk assessment of such projects.
