As geothermal resource development continues to advance

addressing the challenge of sustainably and efficiently harnessing these resources becomes increasingly critical. This involves achieving a balance between the exploration and sustainable use（or "irrigation"） of geothermal resources. To this end

the application of Petrel

a geological modeling software originally designed for the petroleum industry

has been adapted for geothermal geological modeling

offering a promising solution. The adaptation of Petrel for geothermal purposes involves establishing a geospatial platform within the software to manage and analyze a wide range of geothermal geological data. This platform enables comprehensive research into geothermal geological elements by integrating diverse data sets to the fullest extent

thereby enhancing the quality and scope of geothermal geological studies. This approach involves scaling up from traditional small-scale oil and gas reservoir modeling to large-scale thermal reservoir modeling. Such a transition not only maintains the accuracy of the models but also aligns with the scale requirements unique to geothermal geology. Utilizing Petrel

models of the thermal reservoir temperature field

pressure field

and effective thermal reservoir can be constructed. This is achieved by combining various types of data and employing both deterministic and stochastic modeling techniques

thereby establishing a robust method for thermal reservoir geological modeling using Petrel. A key advantage of employing a 3D geological model for calculating effective thermal reservoir resources is its reduced sensitivity to reservoir heterogeneity. This approach more accurately reflects real subterranean conditions

providing a more reliable basis for resource evaluation. The resulting accurate 3D geological models and resource assessments lay a solid foundation for the numerical simulation of thermal reservoirs and the development of comprehensive thermal reservoir management plans. This

in turn

supports the scientific and sustainable exploitation and utilization of geothermal resources in the area

ensuring their efficient and responsible development.
