Characterizing favourable structural settings of geothermal reservoirs in extensional regions: Enhanced exploration strategies

Published by University of Nevada | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:57 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 07, 2017 at 09:38 PM
Exploration of geothermal systems is commonly hampered by the risk of unsuccessful drilling. A major problem in selecting well sites is that the favorable settings of known systems are generally not adequately characterized. This is particularly important in amagmatic regions, where faults are the dominant control on geothermal fluids and obvious magmatic het sources are lacking...
