Geothermal energy prospectivity in the Hutton Sandstone, Eromanga Basin, Australia

Abstract The Cooper and Eromanga Basins of Australia, with old and hot basement rocks, offer promise for geothermal exploration. The basement rock radioactive decay has high radiogenic heat production exceeding 5 microwatts per cubic meter. The basement structure transitions from the 3.6 km deep Pat...
