3DHIP-Calculator A New Tool to Stochastically Assess Deep Geothermal Potential Using the Heat-In-Place Method from Voxel-Based 3D Geological Models

The assessment of the deep geothermal potential is an essential task during the early phases of any geothermal project. The well-known 'Heat-In-Place' volumetric method is the most widely used technique to estimate the available stored heat and the recoverable heat fraction of deep geother...

The well-known 'Heat-In-Place' volumetric method is the most widely used technique to estimate the available stored heat and the recoverable heat fraction of deep geothermal reservoirs at the regional scale.
