The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $5,500,231 Cooperative Agreement under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) to Clemson University to design, develop, prototype, and validate a novel AI-enabled, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) based well-logging tool for comprehensive evaluation of the integrity of geothermal wells at high temperature and high pressure without active cooling. The proposed technology aims to provide a high-fidelity 3D tomograph of the wellbore, including the casing, cement, and part of the formation, with defects identified and classified.

As part of this effort, Clemson University has issued sub-awards to Southern Methodist University (SMU) and the University of Oklahoma (OU). SMU will develop a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) educational plan and a collaborative workforce development framework. OU will design and develop the high-temperature acoustic imaging system and downhole probes, including creating finite element analysis (FEA) models to validate the system's compatibility with geothermal well conditions. The project also includes commercialization activities to disseminate the findings to the oil and gas industry.
