Abstract
This paper summarizes the deep-seated geothermal resource surveys in the Kakkonda field, from the viewpoint of geothermal modeling. The results of surveys by NEDO and reanalysis of data by GSJ were reviewed in terms of reservoir and thermal structure modeling based on the NEDO and GSJ reports of the project. These models were compared to each other and summarized. The temperature decline model of the Kakkonda deep geothermal system was proposed based on the comparison with the Fournier model (1999).
