Topic 1: Improved exploration prior to, during and after drilling Objectives Develop advanced exploration, investigation and monitoring technologies to reduce the cost of surveys and improve the resolution of underground imaging, by 2025 (from TRL 5-6 to 8) Develop an integrated approach by improving the multidisciplinarity of exploration methods, joint modelling as well as by using specialised data and computational science advanced exploration, investigation and monitoring technologies by 2030 (from TRL 5-6 to 8 by extended demo) Improve logging and logging-while-drilling tools, including those for harsh condition (from TRL 5-6 to 8) Targets mitigate risks during the feasibility and operational phases of a geothermal project, by maximising probability of: predicting physical (T, P, permeability, stress ) and chemical parameters; detecting fluid-bearing fractures and faults; Reduce the cost of surveys New/advanced down-hole sensors KPI: >n.ber of productive/abandoned wells, >n.ber of pre-feasibility/feasibility projects, n.ber of logging and monitoring tools for Scope: partnership for demonstration? see shared knowledge Priority: medium
Topic 2: Exploration workflows and catalogues To improve reservoir characterisation we need further understanding of processes and properties Objectives Demonstrate advanced workflows for reservoir characterisation for different reservoir types and portfolio approaches (by 2025, TRL 7?). In combination with Topic 1 Build and extend catalogues of rock properties and fluid-rock interaction, multiscale reference models and maps supplying constraints for regional and site models (by 2025 implementation and continuous updating, TRL 7?) Targets Improved resource and uncertainty reporting protocols, contributing to: transparent and harmonized methods and instruments for technical and financial risk management; increased transparency for stakeholders, better assessment of energy stocks across Europe and direct comparison with other RES projects KPI: protocol?, database/catalogue, number of data in the database Scope: partnership for demonstration? see shared knowledge Priority: medium
Topic 3: Assessing resource potential There is still a need for a comprehensive overview of current and future GE sustainability scenarios Objectives Develop a reliable methodology and tools to perform resource assessment (by 2023, TRL ) Demonstrate communication and reporting protocols (by 2025, TRL ) Targets Multi-level GE potential assessment and comparison framework to be used by investors, regulators, governments and consumers KPI: number of stakeholders using the protocol for producing potential maps Scope: partnership for demonstration? see shared knowledge Priority: high
Topic 4: Cutting edge geothermal resources Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), offshore resources, and reused oil and gas wells, can significantly contribute to geothermal energy growth in the future but their potential is still poorly known. Objectives R&I for advanced methods to estimate and predict properties and processes of deep underground, and to define abundance and techno-economic feasibility of resources D to test developed technologies Targets Enlarged potential, Improved sustainability of oil&gas wells, TRL: overall 5 to 7?? Scope: partnership for demonstration? see shared knowledge. Priority: medium Timeline: long
