Statement

The study was conducted to assess the geothermal potential of the early Carboniferous limestone (ECL) in Great Britain and is published in D J.R. Jones, T. Randles, T. Kearsey, T.C. Pharaoh, A. Newell (2023). Deep geothermal resource assessment of early Carboniferous limestones for Central and Southern Great Britain, Geothermics, 109, 102649, ISNN 0375-6505, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102649. Two geological models were created for the northern and southern ECL provinces using borehole horizon markers, depth converted seismic picks and polygons defining erosional limits of formations and outcrop from BGS surface mapping using SKUA-GOCAD. An implicit geological modelling method was used, where all the geological units were modelled simultaneously using all the available data held and interpolated within a 3D framework. The gridded geological model was attributed with appropriate bulk density values based on average values that are known from the two areas (Rollin, 1987). These were mapped to the 3D grid using a combination of lithostratigraphic unit and any internal lithological variation that had been modelled. The geological grids were then converted to regular raster grids with a 2500 m x 2500 m horizontal resolution and 50 m vertical resolution to be imported into the volumetric 'heat in place' (HIP) calculator.
