Geothermal Reservoir

A geothermal reservoir is a natural system that stores heat from the Earth’s interior, which can be tapped for geothermal energy production. These reservoirs typically consist of hot water or steam trapped in porous rocks. Understanding geothermal reservoirs is crucial for sustainable energy production, reservoir management, and environmental impact assessment.
