Deep Underground Science and EngineeringAbstractFracturing a geothermal reservoir of hot dry rock (HDR) by the engineered stimulation is a prerequisite to efficient heat extraction of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS). However, the heat extraction performances of different EGSs employing distinct stimulation strategies remain unclear, resulting in the conundrum that which stimulation mode ...

Enhanced Geothermal Systems – Promises and Challenges
International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2021 Geothermal energy plays a very important role in the energy basket of the world. However, understanding the geothermal hotspots and exploiting the same from deep reservoirs, by using advanced drilling technologies, is a key challenge. This study focuses on reservoirs at a depth greater than 3 km and temperatures more than 150°C.
