Workshop Documents

Development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems Technologies

The following documents are from a series of four workshops held in 2007, the first of which evaluated the assumptions set forth in the report by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) titled The Future of Geothermal Energy (MIT 2006), and three (in the areas of Reservoir Creation, Reservoir Management and Operations, and Wellfield Construction) which focused on identifying technology gaps associated with EGS development. The intent of the workshops was to motivate facilitated discussion on technology gaps related to reservoir management and operations. The following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
