The division’s specialisation
This division specialises in geochemical exploration, sample collection and analysis, Tracer Injection Flow Tests (TIFT), reservoir tracer testing, and steam purity and steam quality assessments. The sampling crew brings equipment to the site, and analysis is carried out in the company’s laboratory.
- G1Geochemistry sampling and analysisCollection and analysis of geothermal fluids: water/brine and steam condensate, with their analysis parameters.
- G2Tracer Injection Flow Test (TIFT)Flow testing by tracer injection for high and medium pressure.
- G3Reservoir tracer testReservoir tracer testing with several tracer types.
- G4Steam quality and steam puritySteam quality monitoring, steam purity sampling and analysis, and steam superheat measurement.
- G5Non-condensable gas (NCG) and gasNCG measurement and analysis, plus gas sampling and analysis.

Frequently asked questions
Can sampling and analysis be ordered together?
Yes. The geothermal division covers sampling on site and analysis in the laboratory. The scope of each is set during the quotation.
Which tracers are used?
For TIFT: SF6, PTSA, and 2-NSA. For reservoir tracer tests: NDSA (1,5; 1,6; 2,6; 2,7), Freon, and Tritium. Tracer selection is discussed against the test conditions.
What should be prepared before an inquiry?
The planned sampling points or wells, requested parameters, schedule, and the context of the work. Anything uncertain can be discussed with the team.
