Abstract
This research paper introduces a novel real-time portable device designed for geothermal production well testing. Geothermal energy is a promising renewable resource, and effective management of geothermal reservoirs necessitates precise and immediate data acquisition during testing phases. The portable device integrates advanced sensors and data acquisition systems to continuously monitor essential parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and enthalpy. It is engineered for durability in challenging geothermal environments, adaptable to various well sizes and depths, and compatible with existing infrastructure. Wireless communication capabilities enable seamless data transmission to the encrypted web server dashboard, facilitating prompt decision-making and operational adjustments. The device, called as Geoflowtest, includes sophisticated algorithms for real-time data analysis and visualization, enhancing efficiency in well testing operations. Field trials and case studies demonstrate its effectiveness in optimizing geothermal production, minimizing downtime, and improving reservoir management strategies. The Geoflowtest represents a significant advancement, offering robust monitoring capabilities essential for maximizing geothermal energy extraction sustainably and economically.
