Wet sedimentary rock formation with good porosity, permeability, and geothermal gradient.
Reservoir heat flux is a function of crustal thickness and basement temperature, with heat conduction through conductive rock formations and heat advection by rising fluids.
Originally explored and developed for hydrocarbon reservoirs, these rock formations may have heated aquifers below.
These hydrothermal reservoirs may be able to be exploited with a mixture of repurposed and new production and injection wells to capture the heat for Geothermal energy from surface Binary ORC power generation equipment.
