Reservoir characterisation in geothermal projects involves creating a detailed description of subsurface properties crucial for assessing resource potential. It combines various data types, including seismic surveys, well logs, and petrophysical analyses, to understand reservoir geometry, fluid content, and heat flow.

The URGENT project aims to improve these characterisation methods for urban geothermal development across Europe’s sedimentary basins and hard rock basement formations.
