Geothermal Energy Definition

• Geothermal Energy is the energy stored in the
  form of heat below the surface of the solid earth

Geothermal Resource Assessment Projects to date

• Geothermal Atlas of Ireland (SEI, 2004)
• Geothermal Potential of Northern Ireland (AR,
  2005)
• Assessment of the Shallow Geothermal Potential
  of Northern Ireland (AR, 2005)
• Potential for Deep Geothermal Energy in Northern
  Ireland (AR, 2008)

10
Shallow Geothermal Potential

• Temperature Profiles of Northern Ireland
  Groundwater Boreholes
• Relationships between Aquifer Permeability and
  Temperature at 100m

11
Shallow Geothermal
12
Deep Geothermal

• Geothermal Potential of Northern Ireland at 2.5km
  depth
• Temperature Record from Exploration Oil Gas
  wells
• Geothermal Targets in the Rathlin, Larne, Lough
  Neagh and North West basins

13
Defining the Potential of Geothermal Targets

• Existing Oil and Gas well Data is used to define
  the parameters for assessment of geothermal
  potential
• Stored Energy models for Geothermal targets are
  refined using recently acquired TELLUS data

Northern Ireland Regional Development

• Significant housing development forecast for
  Antrim, Larne, Ballymena Coleraine
• Significant Industrial Development in Coleraine,
  Ballymoney Magherafelt
• Significant developments are expected in the
  areas north and south-west of Belfast City

Conclusions

• 4 basins in Northern Ireland have suitable target
  formations for geothermal energy exploitation
• Geothermal Energy in Northern Ireland may have a
  significant impact on local energy markets
  particularly in the domestic and industrial
  sectors where large heating requirements are
  currently met by fossil fuels
• Future planned strategic planned development
  should consider geothermal energy and district
  heating systems as an alternative source of energy
