About the event
Traditional surveys such as active seismic are not the most efficient way of exploring Basement crustal fault zones (B-CFZ) geothermal plays, such as in the Erzgebirge massif in south-eastern Germany (Saxony). To explore geothermal potential of this area TLS Geothermics has acquired a new lease in western Saxony for geothermal exploration (OstVogtland Warme project).
TLS Geothermics has developed, inside its systemic exploration workflow, a dedicated geophysical process in order to quantify B-CFZ geothermal potential. This workflow is based on the joint inversion of gravity, passive seismic and magnetotelluric data (3 passive methods). Each method provides complementary information on density, resistivity and seismic velocity models in the crust. Combined, these methods can help to quantify pressure, temperature, lithology (mineralogy and porosity) as well as fluid composition, with the ultimate goal of efficiently quantifying the geothermal potential and target the first exploration wells.
