A Comprehensive List of Geothermal Reservoir Properties for the Development of Geothermal Occurrence Models

Despite the fact that geothermal occurrence models (GOMs) are essential components of early stage exploration, few attempts have been made to compile comprehensive lists of data on world - wide geothermal resources in order to develop such models. The properties of these geothermal resources - including the structural setting, geothermal features, tectonic setting, temperature of the reservoir, and host/cap rock characteristics - are being catalogued on OpenEI, a semantic wiki platform for crowdsourced knowledge-sharing. This additional in - formation added to the wiki platform will provide the public with access to an enormous amount of geothermal information, the goal of which is to stimulate the development of GOMs and aid in exploration. This paper reviews the significance of the project, the methodologies involved in the classification of resources, and the intended future work.
