WORKSHOP
GOALS
  • Bring together Engineers, Scientists and Managers involved in geothermal reservoir studies and developments
  • Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the exploration, development and use of geothermal resources
  • Enable prompt and open reporting of progress
We strongly encourage all scientists and engineers involved in geothermal reservoir technology to attend the workshop. Papers will be presented on recent research relating to geothermal reservoirs including: 
  • Case Studies: reservoir response to production, effects of injection, scaling characteristics
  • Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): current and future activities
  • Engineering Techniques: reservoir simulation, empirical methods, well tests, tracers
  • Field Management: strategies for exploitation, injection, scale inhibition
  • Exploration: geophysics, geochemistry, geology, heat flow studies, outflows
  • Drilling and Well Bore Flows: well stimulation, bore flow modeling, hydro-fracturing, scaling
  • Low Enthalpy Systems: applications of heat pumps, hot dry rock technology
  • Geosciences: application of geophysics, geochemistry, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
Papers accepted for presentation and/or publication should be produced on standard sheets we will supply, or formatted to the finish specifications and returned as a camera-ready copy. The papers will be available as preprints at the Workshop and subsequently published in the Proceedings. This year's conference proceedings will be published online (see 1997-2003 here) as well as on CD.
