Development of the play-fairway system for the low-temperature geothermal system exploration in sedimentary basins; with application to the Vienna Basin

Aim of the project is to develop the play-fairway-map construction technique for low-temperature geothermal systems in sedimentary basins in the GIS environment. The goal is to parameterize the exploration by the system of factors characterizing the geothermal system, its efficiency and its engineering geology characteristics, such as production index for specific power producing technology, reinjection index, environmental impact index and cost index for specific technology; to subsequently normalize those factors and, finally, combine them in such a way that the color-coded play fairway map indicates areas of the basin with the best potential for the geothermal system commercialization, fair potential, poor potential and areas lacking data allowing their evaluation.
