| Abstract | Stochastic analyses were conducted to estimate the reservoir parameters such as temperature, pressure, and permeability in the deep reservoirs. The validity of the stochastic analyses was examined by comparing the parameters derived from a numerical simulation with a conceptual model of the geothermal field. The resources of the deep reservoirs in several geothermal fields are estimated and summarised by comparing these with shallow reservoirs. The deep-seated geothermal resources are possible and exploitable and may increase the output of the geothermal power plants. |
