"MeProRisk-II, Optimisation Strategies and Risk Analysis for Deep Geothermal Reservoirs" is a collaborative project aimed at assessing and evaluating the feasibility of energy production from geothermal reservoirs. The concept is based on the interpretation of surface and well geophysical data of a geothermal field to constrain the geological subsurface structure, rock composition and physical properties (thermal conductivity, permeability, porosity), and their uncertainties.In the talk, two cases (from Australia and Italy) will be addressed. Geological models based on geophysical data (seismic profiles, well logs) will be presented. Relevant rock properties are either estimated or measured in the lab. Hydrothermal numerical simulations are carried out with the software package SHEMAT-Suite. The boundary conditions are constrained by borehole-temperature data.
