eavor performance update

Our first demonstration facility ran from 2019 to 2024

The Derek Riddell Eavor-Lite™ Demonstration Facility was a full-scale prototype of the Eavor technology suite. The facility site was located near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Drilling and construction began in August of 2019. Eavor-Lite™ consists of two vertical wells, joined by two multilateral legs at 2.4km depth, connected by a pipeline at surface. The rationale for this design, which was not intended to be commercially viable, was to build a facility that proves and demonstrates all the critical elements of Eavor’s technologies at the lowest cost. This demonstration was designed to achieve the most efficient path to acceptance and commercialization of the technology by facility developers and commercial financiers.

Technical

Objectives

Drill & intersect a multilateral Eavor-Loop™ with two laterals

Seal the Eavor-Loop™ while drilling

Validate the thermodynamic performance & demonstrate the thermosiphon effect

The Eavor-Lite™ Demonstration was designed to achieve the following three technical objectives:

  • Drill and intersect a multi-lateral Eavor-LoopTM with 2 lateral wellbores from each vertical wellbore
    • Intersect wellbores/mechanically confirm intersect
  • Seal lateral openhole wellbores while drilling
    • Pressure test
    • Maintain circulation rate with negligible leak rate
    • Maintain low solids production
  • Validate thermodynamic performance and demonstrate thermosiphon effect
    • Match or exceed thermodynamic model performance
    • Demonstrate thermosiphon control and operation
    • Achieve >90% uptime
