Uncertainty Characterisation in Geothermal Exploration

2021
With the urgent need to quickly reduce CO2 emissions, deep geothermal energy can provide an indispensable contribution in the future energy mix. To encourage future projects, it is essential to significantly decrease the exploration risks of geothermal projects.

Technological challenges of geothermal exploration

70th EAGE Conference and Exhibition - Workshops and Fieldtrips, 2008
The most pressing technological challenges in exploration and investigation of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and Unconventional Geothermal Resources (UGR) are considered to be those associated with the identification of the nature of geothermal heat concentrations and prospective reservoirs without drilling, the improvement of methods predicting ...

Geothermal exploration in difficult areas

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 1990, 1990
According to the “Sunshine Project”, various gee. physical survey have been conducted in many geotherma: areas in Japan, In this Project, geophysical data har been interpreted as layered earth structures. However! there are often inherent difficulties in determining layer thickness and resistivities from one geophysical method alone in difficult areas.

Geothermal Resource Exploration

1982
Exploration for geothermal resources in the Basin and Range geomorphic province of the western United States is much akin to mineral resource exploration. In this region, potential geothermal resources are located at or near zones of intersection of normal faults, where fracture permeability permits deep circulation of meteoric water into high ...

REGIONAL GEOTHERMAL EXPLORATION IN EGYPT*

Geophysical Prospecting, 1983
AbstractAlthough Egypt is not characterized by abundant Cenozoic igneous activity, its location in the northeastern corner of the African plate suggests that it may possess geothermal resources, especially along its eastern margin. Regional geothermal exploration has been carried out in Egypt using the thermal gradient/heat flow technique and ...

Exploration for Geothermal Energy

1981
The growth in importance of geothermal energy as an alternative to other energy resources in recent years has led to the development of new geophysical, geological and geochemical exploration techniques which are particularly suited to the problem. Often, geothermal reservoirs have little or no direct expression, and indirect exploration methods must ...

Geothermal Exploration for Ground Water

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1969
Since 1961, precise ground-temperature measurements have been made at shallow depth in a number of geological terranes and climates. The objective has been to investigate the effectiveness of shallow geothermal techniques in geological exploration. The thermal sensors used are thermistors individually calibrated to within .02°C.

Geothermal exploration using electrical methods

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1991
Abstract Geophysical electrical methods play an important role in the study of geothermal fields. They are widely used, by virtue of large resistivity contrasts encountered in them, in almost all stages of geothermal research. The different techniques and the methodologies employed, vary according to the target sought.

Geophysical solutions for geothermal exploration

The Leading Edge
In response to climate change, international efforts have focused on renewable energies such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal, which produce minimal greenhouse gases and are more sustainable. The United Nations' 2015 Sustainable Development Goals emphasized “affordable and clean energy,” contributing to countries' decisions to adopt ...
