Geothermal Exploration in Nigeria

Science Forum (Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences), 2019
The geological structure of Nigeria influences geothermal exploration extent within each geological province. Sedimentary basins in Nigeria have been explored for hydrocarbons for several decades, thus the oil companies collected large subsurface temperature data basis.

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 ...

WAGCoE Data Catalogue for Geothermal Exploration

2010 IEEE Sixth International Conference on e-Science, 2010
Most companies or governmental agencies in the Earth Science industry advocate a web interface to facilitate user access to their valuable data. However those interfaces are all different and make it difficult for any user willing to discover, search, access and use this data in an easy and standardised manner.

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.

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.

Evaluation of geothermal prospects and the objectives of geothermal exploration

Geoexploration, 1970
Abstract Some of the basic considerations involved in the evaluation of geothermal prospects are reviewed. The elementary principles of the extraction of heat from geothermal reservoirs are discussed on the basis of an example. It is concluded that in order to sustain power generation in the 100 MW range geothermal reservoirs must have temperatures ...

Exploring for geothermal resources in Greece

Geothermics, 2010
Abstract In Greece the geothermal areas are located in regions of Quaternary or Miocene volcanism and in continental basins of high heat flow. The existence of high-temperature (>200 °C) resources has been proven by deep drilling on the islands of Milos and Nisyros and inferred on the island of Santorini by its active volcanism. Elsewhere, geological

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 ...

Applied volcanology in geothermal exploration in Iceland

pure and applied geophysics, 1978
In an active spreading area like Iceland, where the regional geothermal gradient is in the range 50–150°C/km, it is normally not a problem to find high enough temperature with deep drilling, but the difficulties arise with finding permeable layers at depth within the strata.
