Geothermal Well Exploration in Nigeria Using Remote Sensing and Modified Thermal Equations

Based on the preliminary evidence of volcanoes, hot springs, and Geysers in parts Nigeria, it is proposed that deep geothermal wells can be found Nigeria. This research uses thermal anomalies zones to identify types i.e., using remote sensing modified equations. The dataset includes ground heat flux (GHF) from Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research Applications (MERRA) 28 years; sediment thickness EarthData; surface geology LANDSAT. transport model was used narrow potential locations across Nigeria thickness, while confirm zones. Four GHF patterns were discovered shows might located Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba, Ekiti, Kogi, Benue, Nassarawa, Taraba. Also, medium-depth may Sokoto, Zamfara, Kastina, Kwara, Oyo, Jigawa States. It revealed southern have lots shallow wells. Chad Basin Benue trough, Sokoto basin, Bida lower trough. recommended further trotting exploration carried out identified geographical locations.
