Geothermal Feasibility

Evidence guide

Well Logs for Geothermal Pre-Feasibility

Nearby well logs can help qualify geothermal prospects by showing depth, water, lithology, and sparse-evidence warnings before a paid design conversation.

Well depth map for geothermal feasibility context

Well evidence helps explain drilling context, but thermal conductivity must remain an uncertainty until better data exists.

Comparable well evidence

The report should show nearby well logs and explain what they can and cannot say about a geothermal site.

Thermal uncertainty

Thermal conductivity should be represented as a confidence-banded assumption, not a final design value.

Source appendix

Evidence inputs

Nearby well logs

DrillerDB evidence

Shows depth, water, and formation context around an address.

Limitation: Nearby wells do not prove actual loop performance.

Static water and lithology context

DrillerDB evidence

Supports drilling and constructability review.

Limitation: Thermal assumptions require qualified review and, when needed, test data.

Report logic

What the page should teach

  • Show comparable wells by distance band.
  • Flag sparse nearby evidence.
  • Explain thermal conductivity uncertainty plainly.

Human-review boundary

  • The screen does not replace engineering design.
  • The screen does not finalize loop sizing.
  • Actual site conditions and permitting still govern the work.
