Start of the Workflow/Process.

Fetch existing geological survey data and temperature readings from the Site Analysis data model.

Calculate the estimated energy output using retrieved temperature and pressure data.

Create a new record in the Feasibility Studies data model with the calculated thermal potential.

Create a task for the Legal Department to review environmental and drilling permits.

Retrieve the status of regulatory permits from the Regulatory Compliance data model.

Update the Site Readiness data model to 'Ready for Drilling' once permits are confirmed.

Create a task for the Engineering Team to initiate the drilling operations.

Create new entries in the Drilling Log data model for depth, pressure, and temperature encountered.

Calculate the maximum pressure encountered during the drilling phase from the Drilling Log entries.

Compare the maximum pressure against safety thresholds to determine if reinforcement is needed.

Create a task for the Field Technicians to install well casing based on the pressure assessment.

Update the Well Infrastructure data model with the installation timestamp and casing specifications.

Fetch fluid flow rate data from the Production Monitoring data model.

Calculate the average flow rate over the last 24 hours to ensure steady-state production.

Send an email notification to the Production Manager regarding the daily flow rate stability.

Create a periodic maintenance task for the heat exchanger and turbine components.

Update the Maintenance Schedule data model to reflect the completion of the check.

Create a comprehensive performance report summarizing energy output, flow rates, and downtime.

Send an SMS alert to the Emergency Response Team if pressure thresholds exceed safety limits.

Delete temporary, high-frequency sensor data entries once they have been aggregated into long-term storage.

End of the Workflow/Process.
