Abstract
Geothermal energy is an important renewable energy resource, whose share is growing rapidly in the energy mix. Geosciences provide fundamental knowledge on Earth system processes and properties, required for the development of new methods to identify prospective geothermal resources suitable for exploitation. Through robust prediction and detection of critical reservoir parameters, including rock fabric, temperature, in situ stress, flow properties and fluid geochemistry, it is possible to reduce pre-drilling risks for geothermal exploration
