The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has been granted significant research funding to discover deep geothermal resources in low-enthalpy crystalline settings. The Research Council of Finland is the largest contributor with a project funding of 1 M€ in total.
The Deep-Heat-Flows project’s principal researcher Dr. Alan Bischoff from the GTK’s geothermal energy group explains: “Our project involves unlocking the full potential of deep geothermal resources in low-enthalpy crystalline settings away from volcanic and rifting areas. Much of our current knowledge about geothermal systems comes from thermodynamically active areas where high-temperature fluids, intense tectonic and volcanic activity, and the presence of convective hydrothermal cells play a central role in forming geothermal reservoirs.”
Enteq Technologies plc (LON:NTQ) develops and supplies equipment for Measurement, Logging and Geo-steering while drilling of wells for the Geothermal, Oil and Gas markets.
