Enum: GeothermalReservoirType

Classification of geothermal reservoirs by geological setting and characteristics.

URI: valuesets:GeothermalReservoirType

Permissible Values

Value Title Meaning Description Related Mappings Broad Mappings
VOLCANIC Volcanic Reservoir Reservoir associated with volcanic activity, typically in active volcanic regions with magma heat sources. ENVO:00000247 sweet:realmLandVolcanic/VolcanicField
SEDIMENTARY Sedimentary Basin Reservoir Reservoir in sedimentary formations with elevated temperatures due to depth or regional heat flow. sweet:realmGeolBasin/SedimentaryBasin
FRACTURED_BASEMENT Fractured Basement Reservoir Reservoir in fractured crystalline basement rocks, typically granitic or metamorphic.
FAULT_CONTROLLED Fault-Controlled Reservoir Reservoir where fluid flow is controlled by fault systems providing permeability pathways.
MAGMATIC Magmatic/Near-Magmatic Reservoir Very high temperature reservoir near or in contact with magma bodies or recent intrusions. sweet:matrRockIgneous/Magma
CONDUCTION_DOMINATED Conduction-Dominated Reservoir Low permeability reservoir where heat transfer is primarily through conduction rather than convection.
