Fig. 1. Map showing <strong>the</strong> distribution of <strong>the</strong> potential geo<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirswhere <strong>the</strong>y are expected to occur with a thickness of more than 25 m in <strong>the</strong>800–3000 m depth-interval. The dark-grey <strong>and</strong> black areas indicates where<strong>the</strong> reservoirs are buried too deep; <strong>the</strong> light-grey areas indicate where noreservoirs are expected to be present (Ringkøbing-Fyn High) or are tooshallow buried (< 800 m; nor<strong>the</strong>rnmost Jutl<strong>and</strong>). The hatched areas indicatetwo or more reservoirs with a geo<strong>the</strong>rmal potential. The existing deep wells,location of <strong>the</strong> Thisted <strong>and</strong> Margre<strong>the</strong>holm plants, <strong>and</strong> current areas ofinterest are shown. Primarily based on Bertelsen (1980), Michelsen (1981),Nielsen & Japsen (1991), Michelsen et al. (2003), Nielsen (2003), Nielsen etal. (2004) <strong>and</strong> Mathiesen et al. (2009, 2010).Future plantsInitial investigations near Lyngby, Skive, Tønder, Viborg <strong>and</strong> Aabenrasuggest a geo<strong>the</strong>rmal potential (Fig. 1). At Viborg new seismic data has beenacquired <strong>and</strong> interpreted, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> next step may include <strong>the</strong> drilling ofexploration wells. The investigations at Skive suggest a geo<strong>the</strong>rmal potentialin <strong>the</strong> Gassum Formation, <strong>and</strong> acquisition of seismic data may be carried outRisø International <strong>Energy</strong> Conference 2011 Proceedings Page 1293
