A FEW WORDS ABOUT US
Our scientists and engineers develop independent evaluations of a site’s potential for exploitation. The goal of our service is to reduce project-development risk in a pragmatic, iterative, and cost-effective manner. Final service products include conceptual geological and reservoir models, infrastructure design, reservoir analyses, productivity simulations, and “bankable” technical and economic feasibility studies. We can provide an overall analysis of wind, solar, and other renewable options to better understand the reduction of parasitic load, complimentary resources, and economic contrast.
DG was competitively selected by EPM/CHEC to conduct a high-resolution MT survey in the Nereidas Valley at the base of Volcan Nevado del Ruiz and provide drilling recommendations. DG exclusively provided all MT information used for the project. The Nereidas valley is located approximately 18km southeast of the city of Manizales, a region known for its abundance of recreational hot springs. Other project methods included geologic mapping and geochemistry, as well as reservoir modeling provided by partnerships with Thermochem and RESPEC. DG was responsible for all final resistivity imaging.

The Dewhurst Group (DG) is testing, comparing, and developing various remote sensing methods appropriate for deployment on small remotely controlled UAVs. UAVs consist of multi-rotor aircraft capable of obtaining precision data from heights ranging from approximately 1m to 1000m above the ground. Current instruments under development include: high-resolution cameras for photogrammetry and base-map construction, long wavelength infrared sensors to map surface heat and specialized magnetometers to perform aeromagnetic surveys. The project goal is to develop tools that complement ground-based geophysical and geochemical methods for exploration and development.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT US
Since 2009, the Dewhurst Group has successfully explored and developed numerous renewable-energy projects throughout the Western Hemisphere. Our team of scientists and engineers develop independent evaluations of sites’ potential for exploitation, with the goal of reducing our clients’ development risk in a pragmatic, iterative, and cost-effective manner. DG has also been an industry leader in adopting environmentally and socially responsible development principles. Our final service products include conceptual geological and reservoir models, infrastructure design, reservoir analyses, productivity simulations, and “bankable” technical and economic feasibility studies, as well as environmental and social impact assessments. While our primary specialty is geothermal, we can also provide analyses of wind, solar, and other renewable options. Please see some highlights from our project portfolio below.
DG is collaborating with the State of Montana Governor’s Office of Economic Development on a feasibility study for Montana’s first geothermal power plant. The survey area, Warm Springs, is located proximate to Yellowstone National Park and has a documented history of local geothermal activity. Although rich in geothermal potential, the Warm Springs region is economically depressed, and a priority of this project is to stimulate local economic growth.

This work was performed in anticipation of a Bureau of Land Management geothermal lease auction announced on November 2, 2011, as “Colorado State Office Competitive Geothermal and Oil & Gas Lease Sale Notice, dated November 2, 2011, for the Lease Sale Auction to be held on February 9, 2012”, as amended on January 12, 2012, as parcels (COC 75274 and COC 75275) and scheduled to be held in Denver, Colorado on February 9, 2012. The ultimate goal of the investigation was to assist Mt. Princeton Geothermal, LLC (the Client) in assessing the appropriateness of bidding on the BLM lease Auction.
