چکیده
This paper presents the outlines of a new Hot Wet Rock (HWR) geothermal project. The goal of the project is to develop a design methodology for combined artificial and natural crack geothermal reservoir systems with the objective of enhancing the thermal output of existing geothermal power plants. The proposed concept of HWR and the research tasks of the project are described.

متن کاملBoiler Design Procedure Geothermal Boiler Design Procedure
A concept of "Fractal Fracture Mechanics" for HDR .(Hot Dry Rock) geothermal reservoir design has been developed as an extension of conventional rock fracture mechanics. It is suggested that this concept is successfully applicable to characterize and model subsurface fracture network in HDR geothermal reservoir. Furthermore, this modeling procedure makes it possible to evaluate the thermal ener...
متن کاملModeling Geochemical Processes in Enhanced Geothermal Systems with Co2 as Heat Transfer Fluid
The concept whereby heat is recovered from a geothermal reservoir by replacing the native aqueous phase with essentially pure high-pressure carbon dioxide as the working fluid is referred to as an Enhanced Geothermal System with CO2 (EGSCO2). The concept has yet to be tested in the field, and the chemical consequences, both within the reservoir itself, and at its periphery, are not fully unders...

Pursuit and use of geothermal energy in the Netherlands is developing steadily. However, in order to make sound decisions, investors and insurers are requesting the probability of success of each planned geothermal project. A methodological appraisal system was developed in order to achieve a meaningful probability of success of the expected flow rate and thermal capacity. The appraisal system ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fractures in Geothermal Reservoirs Using Resistivity
The optimal design of production in fractured geothermal reservoirs requires knowledge of the resource’s connectivity, therefore making fracture characterization highly important. This study aims to develop methodologies to use resistivity measurements to infer fracture properties in geothermal fields. The resistivity distribution in the field can be estimated by measuring potential differences...
