In Central Europe, the utilization of low enthalpy reservoirs for electricity production has not yet fully developed. Reliable technological experience will only be obtained from future projects. Currently, the utilization is still at an experimental stage and the failure of only a single project could easily have dramatic consequences for the continuation of other projects due to limited publi...

China is in geothermal According to latest statistical data , the number hot springs with in the country is over 2 700. If the hot water wells in basins and water in mines werc i t would be well over 4 I n recent years. progress in geothermal exploration and utilization has bcen made. Geothermal resources diflerent types are for diflerent purposes. The high temperature gcothermal resources the ...

The Las Tres Vírgenes (LTV) geothermal reservoir is a liquid-dominated resource located in the Baja California Peninsula (NW-Mexico) with a currently installed power capacity of 10 MWe. The sustainability of future electricity production at the LTV geothermal field raises concerns about the origin and hydraulic dynamics of exploited geothermal fluids. As part of the present study, water samples...

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 ...

Pertamina has conducted geothermal exploration in Sumatra showing that the depths to the top of most of the geothermal reservoirs are about 1000-2000 meters. Previous geophysical exploration work by Pertamina emphasized the use of DC-resistivity methods such as the Schlumberger method. However, these techmques can typically only penetrate to a depth of less than 1000 meters and are too shallow ...

Heat extraction mode, e.g. well layout or arrangement of wells, of enhanced or engineered geothermal system (EGS) is crucial to its performance and directly affects its commercial viability. Assuming the subsurface target hot dry rock (HDR) has been well-fractured and the created heat reservoir can be treated as a homogeneous porous medium, we numerically simulate the long-term heat extraction ...

11 12 13 In this study, we report chemical and isotope data for 23 geothermal water samples collected in New Zealand 14 within the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ). We analyzed major and trace elements including Li, B and Sr and their 15 isotopic compositions ( 7 Li,  11 B, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) in high temperature geothermal waters collected from deep boreholes 16 in different geothermal fields (Ohaaki, Wa...
