Jeroen van der Vaart from TU Darmstadt, partner in DGE-ROLLOUT, organised the session 10.3 at the conference GeoKarlsruhe 2021/DGGV Annual Meeting.
The topic is uncertainty characterization in geothermal exploration.
With the urgent need to quickly reduce CO2 emissions, deep geothermal energy can provide an indispensable contribution to the future energy mix. To encourage future projects, it is essential to significantly decrease the exploration risks of geothermal projects. This reduction should encourage investments, increase the probability of success and decrease surface impact to communities.
Ranging from direct exploration risks to surface implications for communities, this session is directed to uncertainty quantification and risk reduction e.g. geological modeling, novel exploration as well as reservoir testing and monitoring techniques. Armed with this knowledge, better decisions can be made for project developments, like the selection of drilling targets, reservoir operations, or mitigations efforts.
