Short summary
To accelerate the heat transition in Germany the ArtemIS project focuses on the geothermal assessment of medium-depth reservoirs on a region-wide basis, covering all geological play types based on structural and numerical reservoir models. The results are incorporated into the GeotIS internet platform to create interactive “heat transition profiles”, which provide all necessary technical and subsurface data for each play type to perform preliminary geothermal assessment studies.
