Abstract: A geothermal plant, for extracting energy from a geothermal reservoir located below the ocean bottom, includes a floating platform; a riser that extends from a well drilled into the geothermal reservoir, to the floating platform; an electrical pump having a mechanical actuation part located in a bore of the riser, and an electronic part located outside the riser, wherein the electrical pump is configured to pump a geothermal liquid from the geothermal reservoir to the floating platform; and a power plant located on the floating platform and configured to use a steam produced by the geothermal liquid to generate electrical power. The electrical pump is placed at a depth of the riser where the geothermal liquid is in a single-phase.

Abstract: System and method for estimating a spatial distribution of a characteristic associated with Earth resources. The method includes receiving at an interface palaeogeography data including (1) palaeotopography data, (2) palaeobathymetry data, (3) and a palaeo-earth systems model; calculating with a processor, a retrodictive model of the characteristic based on the (1) palaeotopography data, (2) the palaeobathymetry data, and (3) the palaeo-earth systems model; and imaging the spatial distribution of the characteristic over a part of the Earth.
