The impact of diapirism on geothermal reservoir properties of the Estopanyà and Boix synclines (South-Central Pyrenees) by Pedro Ramirez-Perez, Gabriel Cofrade, David Cruset, Juan Diego Martín-Martín, Jean-Pierre Sizun, Ernest Onetti, Irene Cantarero, Anna Travé

“…In contrast, thermal conductivity is more dependent on rock composition. Key diagenetic processes such as dissolution, cementation, brecciation, and dolomitization significantly alter rock texture and composition, impacting critical thermophysical properties (e.g., thermal conductivity, permeability, and porosity), essential for geothermal reservoir potential. …”
