The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has many geothermal resources along the Red Sea coast, volcanoes, and hot springs. Geoscience researchers within Saudi Arabia were looking for this type of energy five decades ago or even more, but studies are still in academic shelves and no economic geothermal project. The economic vision of Saudi Arabia attempts to use this type of energy for new projects. In the current research, we are trying to collect the previous studies and literatures in geothermal energy to be in a database format. This database will assist decision-makers in drawing up a road map to explore, evaluate, and assess geothermal energy exploration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, geological, geophysical, and related studies are collected in a digital form to build the first Geothermal Resources Database in Saudi Arabia (GRDiSA) using the power full of the GIS environment. Additionally, built-in GIS extension is used as a modeler tool to target the potentiality of geothermal resources in Saudi Arabia. As a result, the first geothermal favorability map is generated based on the GIS model, indicating that the western side, where volcanoes and hot springs are located, is favorable for further geothermal exploration development.

沙特阿拉伯地热资源数据库(GRDiSA):GIS模型和地热有利度图

沙特阿拉伯王国在红海沿岸,火山和温泉中拥有许多地热资源。沙特阿拉伯的地学研究人员在50年前甚至更长时间内一直在寻找这种能源,但研究仍在学术研究中,没有经济地热项目。沙特阿拉伯的经济远景试图将这种能源用于新项目。在当前的研究中,我们正在尝试以数据库格式收集以前有关地热能的研究和文献。该数据库将帮助决策者制定路线图,以探索,评估和评估沙特阿拉伯王国的地热能勘探。因此,地质,地球物理,并以数字形式收集相关研究成果,以充分利用GIS环境的强大功能在沙特阿拉伯建立第一个地热资源数据库(GRDiSA)。此外,内置的GIS扩展程序用作建模工具,以针对沙特阿拉伯的地热资源潜力。结果,基于GIS模型生成了第一个地热有利度图,表明火山和温泉所在的西侧有利于进一步的地热勘探开发。
