Regional Geothermal 3D Modeling in Denmark

We present first results of a 3D model of the subsurface temperature in Denmark. Updated temperatures are contoured for the Gassum formation which is currently utilized for geothermal energy production. The Gassum formation of Upper Triassic/Lower Jurassic age is present in most of Denmark with sufficient net sand thickness and temperatures between 50oC and 80oC in large areas. This makes this formation of particular interest for further geothermal exploration. The regional geothermal model is expected to aid decision makers in future prospecting of geothermal resources in Denmark.
