IMAGE-D5.01: Final report on Integrated application in field models (magmatic settings)

This document gives an overview of the current experience and challenges in defining a workflow for a 3D geological model representation and visualization of high temperature geothermal reservoirs in magmatic settings. The intrinsic complexity of geothermal systems is a major challenge in the exploration and exploitation of any geothermal field. This is sometimes coined as the “geological risk”. This feature makes deep geothermal operations high-risk projects with substantial initial investments related to drilling costs. Better knowledge and useful models of the subsurface are then key bottlenecks for the large deployment of deep geothermal technologies.
