Abstract

Summary

The paper introduces the method of regional hydrodynamic analysis based on pore pressure evaluation into the preliminary geothermal evaluation, in sedimentary basins influenced by overpressured and superimposed gravity-driven flow. This novel approach complements the usual reservoir and temperature analysis. Understanding of subsurface pore pressure distribution is also beneficial during planning of thermal water reinjection. The approach is demonstrated for the Duna-Tisza Interfluve of the Pannonian basin and the results are compared with operational experiences. The results can give basis for numerical modeling and provide background for aligned utilization of drinking water, thermal water and hydrocarbons in sedimentary basins.
