Predictability of properties of a fractured geothermal reservoir: the opportunities and limitations of an outcrop analogue study

Abstract Minimizing exploration risk in deep geothermics is of great economic importance. Especially, knowledge about temperature and permeability of the reservoir is essential. We test the potential of an outcrop analogue study to minimize uncertainties in prediction of the rock properties of a fra...
