RESULT: Enhancing REServoirs in Urban development

Project Description

For clean cities (mission Horizon Europe), geothermal reservoirs are prospected to be developed in many urban areas with the intent of replacing fossil fuel fired heating. In many urban areas the development of geothermal reservoirs is challenging - even if the subsurface reservoir conditions are relatively well known. The main objective is to demonstrate the potential for increased performance by 30-100% of major (marginal) reservoirs for heating in urban areas in the northern EU. RESULT achieves this by deploying 1) optimization methods and drill and learn strategies, 2) reservoirs models and uncertainty assessments, 3) best in class well technology options, 4) Reservoir Development Optimization in different settings in Europe. The innovative procedure and techniques will be 5) used and demonstrated in asset development and drilling a geothermal doublet.
