This is PSI data for Lefkada, Greece. It has been provided by TRE as part of the ESA funded Terrafirma project.

This vector contour dataset represents the modelled depth in metres to the base of the Permo-Triassic in the Worcester and Cheshire basins, considered for their hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal resource potential. Depth maps for the other Permo-Triassic basins (Eastern England and Wessex) are not considered as a viable geothermal resource because of the limited porosity and transmissivity of the reservoirs, and were not modelled. This dataset is derived from Rollin, K. E., G. A. Kirby, and W. J. Rowley: ...

This vector contour dataset represents the modelled depth in meters to the base Sherwood Sandstone Group (SSG) in the Permo-Triassic Cheshire and Worcester basins, considered for their hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal resource potential.

This vector contour dataset represents the modelled depth in meters to the top Sherwood Sandstone Group (SSG) in the Permo-Triassic Cheshire, Wessex, Worcester and East Yorkshire-Lincolnshire basins, considered for their hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal resource potential.

This vector contour dataset represents the calculated temperature distribution (°C) at the base of the Sherwood Sandstone Group (SSG) in the main Permo-Triassic Cheshire, Wessex and Worcester basins and the intra-SSG temperature in the East Yorkshire-Lincolnshire Basin, considered for their hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal resource potential. The extent of the temperature maps corresponds to the extent of the modelled base SSG in each basin. The maps and are based on temperature data from the latest revi...

This vector contour dataset represents the calculated, estimated temperature distribution at 100 m depth. Method described in Busby, J., Lewis, M., Reeves, H. and Lawley, R., 2009, August. Initial geological considerations before installing ground source heat pump systems. Geological Society of London.

This vector contour dataset represents the temperature distribution at 5 km depth in the UK. Method described in Busby, J. and Terrington, R., 2017. Assessment of the resource base for engineered geothermal systems in Great Britain. Geothermal Energy, 5, pp.1-18 and were used to calculate the heat-in-place and recoverable heat in EGS systems.

This vector contour dataset represents the temperature distribution at 7 km depth in the UK. Method described in Busby, J. and Terrington, R., 2017. Assessment of the resource base for engineered geothermal systems in Great Britain. Geothermal Energy, 5, pp.1-18 and were used to calculate the heat-in-place and recoverable heat in EGS systems.

This vector contour dataset represents the distribution of the estimated, theoretical potential 'geothermal resources' (in GJ/m2 or PJ/km2) for the Permo-Triassic sedimentary aquifers in the Cheshire and Worcester basins, for resource temperatures greater than 40 °C. This dataset is the heat-in-place, and represents the amount of heat contained in the productive parts of the identified aquifers. The theoretical potential for the Permian aquifers in the Eastern England and Wessex basins was not calculated d...

This vector contour dataset represents the distribution of the theoretical potential calculated 'identified resources' (in GJ/m2 or PJ/km2) for the hot sedimentary aquifers in Permian formations in the Cheshire Basin (Collyhurst Sandstone Formation) and Worcester Basin (Bridgnorth Sandstone Formation), for resource temperatures greater than 40 °C. The theoretical potential for 'identified resources' represents the estimated proportion of the geothermal resource that is available for development. For consis...
