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...

Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression
Thesis
Egan, S. (1988). Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression

Deep seismic reflection data has shown the importance of low angle faults and detachments in continental extensional tectonics. A quantitative model of continental lithosphere extension is presented, incorporating geometric, thermal and isostatic com...
