Abstract
The aim of the ongoing research programme at Soultz-sous-Forets is to understand & define the requirements for heat mining in the specific tectonic conditions of a Graben area.
The recent hydraulic tests have demonstrated the possibilities of developing a very large permeable volume at great depth (around 3000 m) using hydraulic stimulation and then to initiate circulations between wells with large separation (450 m).
A preliminary general conceptual model is proposed. Hydraulic testing of the system developed will be continued in 1997 in order to determine additional parameters for the model of such a large system.
