Abstract

We describe a framework to synthesize geothermal data streams by joint inversion. Geothermal production robustness, a nonprobabilistic metric of geothermal prospectivity, is defined as the amount that uncertain model parameters can deviate from nominal, best-fit values and still produce simulations that meet geothermal production criteria. Larger parameter deviations indicate greater robustness in geothermal prospectivity. Results are automatically presented as 3D robustness maps using the open-source visualization software ParaView allowing interactive interpretation of the results.
