Evaluating the Response of Geothermal Reservoirs in the Cheshire Basin: A Parameter Sensitivity Analysis (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Griffiths, D., Cassidy, N., Egan, S., & Brown, C. (2019, May). Evaluating the Response of Geothermal Reservoirs in the Cheshire Basin: A Parameter Sensitivity Analysis. Presented at 2019 AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition, San Antonio, Texas

Deep geothermal reservoirs (>2 km) from both low- to medium-enthalpy resources are considered as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels in the UK. Geothermal energy can be explored using existing technology from the oil industry and, unlike oth...

Modelling low-enthalpy deep geothermal reservoirs in the Cheshire Basin,UK as a future renewable energy source. (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brown, C., Cassidy, N., Egan, S., & Griffiths, D. (2019, April). Modelling low-enthalpy deep geothermal reservoirs in the Cheshire Basin,UK as a future renewable energy source. Poster presented at EGU General Assembly 2019, Vienna, Austria

Geothermal energy is considered a potential replacement for fossil fuel due to the possibility of high energy yields, geographically wide-spread resources and the ability to deliver a constant, weather independent base load of heat. Deep, hydrotherma... Read More about Modelling low-enthalpy deep geothermal reservoirs in the Cheshire Basin,UK as a future renewable energy source..

Structural and geodynamic modelling of the influence of granite bodies during lithospheric extension: application to the Carboniferous basins of northern England (2019)
Journal Article

Intra-basinal highs within classic ‘block and basin’ style tectonic frameworks are underpinned by large granite bodies. This is widely believed to relate to the relative ‘rigidity’ and ‘buoyancy’ of granite in relation to accommodating basement. It h...
