Temperature Distribution in the Fell Sandstone Formation, Northumberland-Solway Basin

Legacy British Geological Survey models depict temperature distribution at the mid-reservoir depth of the Carboniferous Fell Sandstone Formation. This vector contour dataset covers the Northumberland-Solway Basin, representing a hot sedimentary aquifer resource. The data was last updated on 2026-04-09.

Use Cases

• Model geothermal energy potential based on subsurface temperature distribution.
• Analyze spatial heat patterns in the Fell Sandstone Formation for resource assessment.
• Validate or calibrate new geological models against legacy BGS data.
• Map hot sedimentary aquifer resources in the Northumberland-Solway Basin.

Strengths

• Produced by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
• Specifically models temperature at the mid-reservoir depth for a defined geological formation.
• Last updated on 2026-04-09, indicating recent metadata maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• As a legacy model, the underlying data collection methods and age are not specified.
