Geophysical exploration and reservoir monitoring for: renewable energy, critical minerals, groundwater, and CCS.
Enthalpion's Land Holdings identifies geothermal prospects, obtains geothermal leases, and works with geothermal developers.
Enthalpion's EM field monitoring systems and services are designed to mitigate risk to the power grid from space weather and EMP.
Enthalpion and its partner companies provide geophysical and engineering consulting services.
Enthalpion Energy LLC was founded in 2020 as the successor to Earth-Ocean Systems, Ltd, a company established originally in the UK that specialized in instrumentation R&D for deployment in extreme environments. The founder of both companies, Dr. Adam Schultz has nearly five decades of experience in the magnetotelluric and controlled source electromagnetics methods, in the development of advanced signal analysis and 3-D inverse modeling methods, as well as the development of innovative geophysical instrumentation.
Enthalpion Energy, with its partner companies IoMT LLC, Chaytus Research and Engineering LLC and Green Geophysics utilize cutting-edge geophysical, geospatial, and geological technologies to support clients in the natural resource exploration and production sectors. We enhance project prospects, mitigate risks, and maximize productivity.
Our offerings include design of MT/CSEM/gravity surveys to match client's target requirements, geophysical data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation, assessment of geothermal play protential, geophysical and engineering consulting, and through its joint subsidiary company IoMT LLC, we carry out instrumentation and related software development.
With our geothermal exploration and development leases, we are eager to partner with geothermal developers to drive sustainable energy solutions.
Our Clients Include:
Cyrq Energy, Green Geophysics, NEPTUNE and Company, Mazama Energy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Quaise Energy, Sandia National Laboratory, SubSeaSail, US Army Corps of Engineers, United States Navy
