GeoRePORT Protocol and Spreadsheet Template

The Geothermal Resource Portfolio Optimization and Reporting Technique (GeoRePORT) was developed with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Office to assist in identifying and pursuing long-term investment strategies through the development of a resource reporting protocol. GeoRePORT provides scientists and nonscientists a comprehensive and quantitative means of reporting: (1) features intrinsic to geothermal sites (project grade) and (2) maturity of the development (project readiness). Because geothermal feasibility is not determined by any single factor (e.g., temperature, permeability, permitting), a site?s project grade and readiness are evaluated on 12 attributes pertaining to geological, technical, or socio-economic feasibility. In this submission, we present the geological, socio-economic, and technical protocols as well as the spreadsheet template for easy data entry and reporting of the GeoRePORT protocol.

地热资源组合优化与报告技术（Geothermal Resource Portfolio Optimization and Reporting Technique，简称GeoRePORT）由美国能源部地热技术办公室（U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Office）资助研发，旨在通过制定资源报告规程，助力识别并推进长期投资策略。GeoRePORT可为科研人员与非专业人士提供一套全面且量化的报告手段，用于汇报两项核心内容：（1）地热场址的固有特征（项目评级，project grade）；（2）开发成熟度（项目就绪度，project readiness）。由于地热项目的可行性并非由单一因素（如温度、渗透率、审批许可）决定，因此需通过12项与地质、技术或社会经济可行性相关的属性，对场址的项目评级与就绪度进行评估。在本提交材料中，我们将呈现地质、社会经济与技术三大规程，以及便于数据录入与GeoRePORT规程报告的电子表格模板。
