Abstract
The distinction between near surface and deep geothermal systems follows from the different depth levels of the geothermal reservoirs and different techniques of utilization (Fig. 4.1). Yet, the transition between the two worlds is smooth. Distinguishing the two main fields of geothermal energy utilization is useful, because their specific techniques for energy production require different geological and geophysical parameters for the description of the systems.
