Annotated Research Bibliography for Geothermal Reservoir Engineering

Abstract

Despite efforts of conscientious researchers, the current volume of published materials makes it virtually impossible to review all relevant publications in a given field. As a result it has been estimated that approximately one-tenth of the research and development funds expended in the United States has been applied to areas resulting in a duplication of efforts. This has been attributed to inadequate literature review. An up-to-date annotated bibliography has been prepared which assisted in avoiding duplication of reservoir engineering research and served as a definitive record of the progress and current status of the subject. The bibliography included English, Italian, Russian and Japanese language publications.
